I used a box cutter. Just score it repeatedly. Many others use a dremel which would be ideal.
To fine tune the edges for a perfect fit, use sand paper or a metal file.

I also suggest using a little silicone sealent when resealing the housing. I will keep out any leaks.

if you don't have a dremel, buy one of those special flourescent light cover cutters.

You'll still have to heat the blade so that it melts right through the plastic, because it was made to use for straight cuts, not small curved ones, which is what you need.

I used a portable camping stove to heat the blade in my garage, it worked pretty well, but its time consuming.
