can I suggest an alternative way to cut out? if you do it with scissors
or a knife, it looks, <ahem> hand-crafted...

use an old-fashioned handheld paper punch... I also have an even 
older-fashioned leather punch w/ various size holes...

position the film w/o removing the backing (important) and mark the
areas where the nipples want to protrude (no, this isn't the manual
for Frederick's Peek-A-Boo Bra) and punch

simple, clean and elegant... (from someone who used a fresh Xacto(tm)
blade to cut the film for his nipple-free, $1600 per side, S6
headlights.

the other solution is to buy non-DOT headlights, e.g. H4 Euro lights...

just say no to nipples! (on your headlights)

I think I'll go back and hide now... (Happy Thanksgiving folks!!!)
