that's pretty good, those red lights can be wired for blinker, running, and brake all together and the lights you are using for blinker you can get in clear. Wire backup to those and you have blinker, brake, running, and backup lights. I work on semi trucks and that's how pretty much all of them are wired. If those are the 3 prong lights I think they are.

You can get a 3 wire pigtail for those lights, with white, red, and black wires.
Red- turn
Black- marker/ brake
White- ground
If the lights don't work right like that switch the brake wire to red on the pigtail.
Its been a while since I've wired one. If it was in front of me I could tell you exactly. But it should work like that.

There are pics of the non notched set installed on the first page.
AND if you just sell the boxes without ANY holes, then the buyer can add whatever lights they choose.

Nice fab work on the boxes...would love to see the notched ones installed so we can see how well they line up. As far as the mounting tabs being slightly off...if you have access to a drill press (or better yet plasma table) you can oblong the mount holes for more adjust-ability for the installer.
