Yes, it's drilled. You need to get a 1" drill bit and make a hole to run the wires out. Then, your kit should probably have a rubber grommet to help seal the hole. Use some silicone afterwards to make it watertight.

You'll want the hole. Otherwise you'll risk leaking and condensation if the seal isn't tight. The silicone is optional; mine seals just fine without it.

I'm sure any audio/visual shop will do it for you for a reasonable price.

Borrow a drill from a friend or neighbor.
