Is it ok to drill holes in a Fiberglass Bumper?

Is it ok to drill holes in a Fiberglass Bumper? I'm getting fog lights, and the bumper is fiberglass. I'm guessing that it's not a smart idea, but would it crack or something?

I would guess that it would be a better idea to punch through the 'glass instead of drilling. But, if you're going to drill, I suggest that you use masking tape around the area you'll be drilling to try to prevent stress fractures and stuff. I've never messed with 'glass, so this is the best advice I can give.

yes its perfectly fine to drill through fiberglass do not use a punch. theres also no need to tape either. been working with fiberglass for a long time, dont worry about it cracking.
