Easily found at a local parts store. I would say you're probably just gonna end up buying a set of trailer lights, but they have different shapes and sizes available so pick whatever you like. They are pretty basic to wire in- the main thing you need to know is which wire is which coming off your truck harness. I'm sure there's a wiring diagram somewhere on this site, just not sure where to find it.

Here's a great set of LED trailer lights that would probably work great for this.

Otherwise you could use the grommet mount type lights that are used on most commercial trucks and semi trailers.
