    Some kits are available, but I have made a few myself....What you get in the kits that I have seen is usually only the bent metal to recess the light.
    Easy to do with basic skills.
    Recess metal does not have to be real thick.
    I have used 16ga. and it bends quite easily by hand and hammer on a curves surface...
    Good luck..and sorry this isn't much help...
    OH, if they are round, it is a piece of cake....any tube or pipe a bit oversize willwork. Just cut, trim, and weld in...

    Also welcome to the forum !!!!
