Mo' Lights-Mid 70's Hiewa-Drilling Holes

[PaulMal]

I've seen a couple of posts where people put LED light strips in these machine.

My machine for reference:

Not really looking to do that, but seems like my lights are pretty dull:

I would like to drill holes where the three rectangular plastic covers (two red and one blue) are on the right side and the one rectangular cover (red) in the lower left side and add install some LED bulbs there to light up when there is a payout. Also add one LED light for the ball loading window above the flipper on all the time while playing and a pair of LED behind the center attraction to light up when there is a payout.

Been playing around with a LED bulb in the window for the ball loader. I really like that light up all the time.

Also laid a couple of LED bulbs behind the center attraction. Looks ok, probably could be brighter.

Question: Can holes be drilled in the plastic covers in the back machine where the center attraction is located or is there a chance of destroying the cover when I try to drill on them? Of there is a good chance I can drill on them, anyone have any suggestions on the best type of drill bit (step bit is what I'm thinking)? I figure 5/8" hole and use a 5/8" grommet for the light.
