I used a worn down cut-off wheel, with my inline air drill, a Dremel
works too.

They came out almost perfectly round, and then I POR'd and painted the
holes.

I installed the harness before the engine, so I had plenty of room, but
it was still tricky drilling the harness hole into the wiper cowl (for
the brain boxes).
