Princess auto sells the diamond bits for 10$

Yeah I got the bits there, actually they're on sale right now, 2 1/2" for $8... but no drill guide there, or anywhere that I've looked in Sarnia.

If you're ever in London - I have that exact drill guide and you'd be welcome to borrow it.  I won't be using it again any time soon!

Worked great for me once I removed the springs - if you do end up getting one of your own I would recommend doing that as well.  Made it so that I can just let the weight of the drill do the work instead of continually pushing, which caused me some drift on the first two holes I did.

Just saw someone on youtube do it that way actually and seemed to work well, so I think I'll try that route out first... on a useless 10gal lol.
Thanks for the offer phil,

+1 on the wood jig if you need one.

I just attacked the glass at an angle to start etching, then rolled the drill vertical as the hole was being cut.
