my reverse light/warning light project

so the other day i made a sheet metal box to hold my 2 reverse lights and my 2 warning lights (stobe lights).
its not done yet but i wanted to know what you guys think and if u have any suggestions before i finish it.


this picture is the front view, i will cover the sheet metal with the cheap wal-mart bed liner so it wont rust. and put some silicone anywhere where the wires come into the box.



this is just the back view



this part looks a little confusing... nothing is connected and the transmitters are just thrown in there for now, when i put it all together the transmitters will be screwed down and ill use shrink wrap to connect all the wires.


this box will sit on the back part of the removable top of my 87 4runner. so tell me what u think.

So this entire thing is going to hang upside down?

That seems a bit bulky don't you think? Or do you have a basket on top?

Homebrew stuff is the best, but are you gonna protect that strobe tube somehow?
I broke a few in my time. Also, what are the warning lights for, are you a vollie FF?
