IMO the Caddy light mod is'nt something "different" and thay have been overdone and it's not a mod pep's are really doin' any more.

But if you really wanna do 'em you need to get a set of weld in inserts.
Inserts are sheetmetal that have the same shape of the light housing slightly bigger and are 2 or 3"s deep so you have something to mount the light assembly into.

Also I would not mount them into the fender's due to the fact to rear tire will allways spray water on the light assy. and there is no way it will ever be a rust free installation.

Good luck.
