But thanks for the idea.

I am now going a different route than using halo lights.
Halo lights generally need to be under clear lenses or located outside the lenses. So, I ordered a different set of 1960 Ford Thunderbird tail-light lenses with clear back-up light centers. They were available new with mounting gaskets.
Then I ordered some high intensity sealed LED trailer lights.
I tested the LED trailer lights with my boat battery while under the Thunderbird lenses. They look great!
This arrangement will simplify mounting, sealing, and wiring.

This is how the lens and LED lights will be assembled.
The LED trailer lights fit on the back of the lens like they were made for each other.

Here is how the Thunderbird lens will look on the Garage Vary panel.
I will enlarge the Garage Vary light openings and have the lenses come in from the backside.
They will stop on the lens flange and have a lens gasket to seal.
The Thunderbird lens will end up almost an inch (25mm) lower than the picture.
I think the center clear lens will look good on the white car.

I really like your idea with the t-bird lights!!!
+1, especially if recessed deeper like the description. I also like the C3 Corvette ones quite a lot.
Today I installed some stainless steel I.L. Motorsport “Roadster” door sills to eliminate the Miata logos and eliminate all the scuff marks.
They go well with the new floor mats too!
The Eunos conversion is almost complete.
I just need to paint and install the rear Garage vary panel that will have a “Eunos” emblem.
