I did similar with my ‘57 3200 but I made actual tail lights by splicing wires from regular tail lights. Extra visibility to help avoid getting rear ended. I chose to push them back a couple of inches to sort of be non-visible when not in use. I have a strong hard wire hooked to the back with a loop extended toward the opening so I can hopefully pull them out easy enough to change the bulb.
