ghaniz, try placing a radial or spot light behind the metal that has the holes in it. then adjust the light to suit your needs.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

well... it's a volumetric material matter. Just do a cylinder coming out od the hole you've done (make the cylinder with bigger diameter than the hole, then go to the material lab go into volume material and select "standard volume light" add a light inside the metallic object and render. -Caution: volume materials increase your render time - hope it helps. vasq

If you are not familiar with it, let me recommend Peter Sharpe's site which has an excellent tutorial on streaming light rays, among many others.
