..You design it and get it made.


Just have to figure out some hollow arms to attach it to the bed sides.

I use these brackets in many of my builds, they should complement your billet lights nicely: Search Results - Mid Fifty F-100 Parts

The housings look great. I've also like the brackets that CharlieLed pointed out. Are they taillight, turn signals? Where do you want to mount them (stock taillight location)? Are you wanting to mount them from the back of the housing? How much room is inside the housing body for wire and mounting? Why not design your own?

I will either make something like that or aluminum tubing mounted in the sides.

I have at least a dozen 3D printed parts on my truck...so I get excited to see others taking advantage of their design skills. Nice work brother!
