Default drilling led holes

I have a minor gripe, I've been installing led's in my cupholders and my airvents... everything is going good except for the fact that when I push the leds through the holes it pushes thin plastic film through that gets wrapped around the led somewhat. I'd like to make more of a professional install look possible

The cupholders are easy to cut out because I can access the other side no problem, as are the middle vents, but I can't seem make the side vents look nice . I'm using a 3/16" bit, I notice the OEM led install guide says that you use use a "deburring tool" to clean out the holes but I haven't been able to find anything like that. Is there a tool or method that someone knows that will make for a cleaner LED install?

To de-burr, just use a larger bit to clean up the edge of the hole you drilled.

that's the light guide...

For power it's just connected to the cig lighter in front of the shifter with a panel switch on the positive line..
