Have you tried using two textures stacked on each other or even two sets of geometry? One for the illuminated panel and the other for the holes? In my example I went for the second option ;)

Or simple "Chrome Rough" with self illuminated circle tiles.

@Beanzvision could you upload the files for your two options? I tried using both ways but I seem to be missing something.

I don't use 3ds Max but the principle will be exactly the same ;)

Why then you posted your question in C4D board? ;]

In 3ds Max you can use gradient ramp to get circular masking.
