Sorry, no...that was a custom one of panel I did for a customer some time ago. He wanted Chevy Cobalt lights in it, so I had to build the buckets. Plus he wanted them to be able to mount like the factory housings, so the brackets are what I came up with. I test fitted them, and they worked and fitted just like the factory housings. What's not shown in the pics, is the slide on spring type "U" nuts used with the factory bolts, which slide onto the brackets. (See pic below)

They were really bright when it was finished!

I've got a picture I'll have to see if I can find if anybody wants to see it.

HAGO!

Sage has the right idea. Bend say 1/8" think 1 1/2" wide aluminum stock and bend it into a C shape. All except for the end two which I would keep in an L shape. Then measure precisely mark the holes in the right locations and drill them. Either use a nutsert with a bolt and washer or the clip nuts that Sage shows in the picture. You could also take two completely broken GT tail light back panels and attach them to the inside of the light panel.
