one of the first steps...
take apart your solar light. it should break down into about 3 prices. the light and solar panel, the defuser, and the steak.
once you have taken your light apart, now place it on your far lid, center it beat as you can and trace the outline.

Getting Dangerous!

once you have outlined your lid and light hole, it is now time to make your cuts. be careful with this step you are dealing with lots of sharp edges!
I used a utility knife to cut a rough outline of the hole. then you puncture a small section and the lid should peal away like a soup lid.
again be careful this is dangerous and sharp!
once you have your hole rough assemble your jar and lid and use your screw driver to roll the edges of the hole.

Fitting and Gluing!

once you have rolled your edges slide the solar light into the hole , adjust as needed.
when you are happy with the fit, lay a nice bead of hot glue completely around your light on the bottom side of the lid, and again on the top side of the lid.
once your glue has cooled and your light is secure reattach the light defusser and install lid back onto jar.
