    Get two of these:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Bac...Parts_Accessories&hash=item232ac00820&vxp=mtr You can find them at Pep Boys etc. get two metal exhaust adapters the correct diameter,cut holes in the location you like and weld them in that way the light will be tunneled aka "frenched" in.You will want to weld a piece of flat stock across the adapter to bolt them in place so they can be removed to do a bulb change if needed.
