With great care. The standard light bulb is comprised of a continuous glass housing. The only thing that goes through the glass are the two wires that provide the current pathways to the inside of the envelope where the filament is. To create a hole in a bulb requires a lot of patience, a lot of care and the use of some sort of abrasive tool to grind the hole. Though it might be possible to create a hole by actually drilling it, it is improbable that one could do it without ending up breaking the bulb. The glass isn't that thick, and because the surface is round, smooth and hard, it would be exceedingly difficult to get the drill bit to bite (start). A very small rotary abrasive bit in a dremel tool is probably the best bet. Eye protection is a MUST and hand protection is strongly recommended. Oh, and you are being warned up front: be very careful about what you do with your light bulb with the hole in it. Aiight?

Why does the voltage drop as electricity flows through a light bulb?

Do you mean why is the voltage in a circuit lower after the light bulb than before it? If so, it's because the light bulb filament has electrical resistance. When an electrical current flows through a resistance, there is a voltage drop across the resistance (Ohm's law).More fundamentally, the light bulb is producing light, which is a form of energy. The voltage drop across the light bulb comes from the fact that electrical energy is being turned into light. If voltage didn't drop, you would be producing energy from nothing. Furthermore, if there were no voltage drop, your circuit would behave the same whether you had no light bulbs, one light bulb, or eighteen million light bulbs - something that clearly can't be the case.


Why does the brake light on the integra not light up when you turn on the light but it light up when you brake?

The Integra uses a dual-filament bulb in the tail light, which has one contact for the running light (the lights you turn on at night) and another brighter one for the brake light (only goes on when you press the brake pedal). You have replaced the bulb with the wrong type. You will need a 2057 bulb for the Integra.

Can a bulb light if electricity doesn't get to the bulb?

No, a light bulb will not light up if electricity does not reach it. Electricity is required to flow through the filament in the bulb to generate light. If there is no electrical current, the bulb will not illuminate.
