this ebay shop is over the road from me and could advise you, they cut out socket holes but you
have to measure well

i think you are supposed to make an exact template from ply (same thickness as the glass) and cut back boxes out exactly. thats what the kitchen
fitters who we do their wiring do. then someone else manufactures the glass. i wouldnt attempt to cut it myself unless i knew it wouldnt facture the
glass.

you can cut it your self but you will need a diamond tipped mini cutting disc (on a dremel or something similar) and you will also need to immerse the
glass in water or haf the hose on it to prevent heat build up.
have done it plenty of times on my mates american trucks when we do roof chops but it takes ages with the above method.
Anything With Tits or Wheels Will cost you MONEY!!

Most companies sub this sort of work out to water jet cutters. Works well for pocelain tiles and other hard materials.
