47-55.1 Rear fender mounted turn/tail lights. What fits good?

Honestly no I have never seen one with the wires anywhere but the end but I haven't paid a lot of attention to them until lately. When I followed that Ford pickup to town the other day and he hit the brakes there was a bright strip across under the tailgate that caught my attention and then when he hit the signals it got my attention a lot more than his regular turn signal did.

I've got a 49 Plymouth Suburban ribbed rear bumper for the 48 that has a dip in the middle for the license plate, That is going to take a special rear pan/splash apron and I plan to add a couple of extra bends for a recess for the strip. You hopefully won't see the strip standing five or six feet behind the truck. Hopfully someone in a car 25 ft behind me clearly sees the strip along with my taillights of choice. Now that you brought it up I'll just design a cover for each end to hide the wires and then match on the other side.
