Firebird Marker Patch Panel?

Working on a mod which I think I have seen on forum, just could not find post. I want to install the firebird markers but i want it to be seemless. Here is my attempt at making a patch panel. Got me to wonder if these were already being produced?

Been a LOT of years since I saw someone on here do that and I don't remeper who. Patch looks good. Looking forward to see what it looks like on the truck.

I have a set of these for my truck and I like your idea. It will fill the gap that the factory firebird bezel leaves.

Here is some progress, making the patch panels, takes some time. I did not get pic of back. I just attached some machined bolts that the will hold lense. I laid the patch over OEM location after centering, I tacjked then used patch as guide to cut out OEM pocket.
