Ron,
So happy folks are making use of the idea. Take your time and have fun with the project. Expect a rat nest of wires connected to the old lights. Be sure to mark the wires as you disconnect the old lights.
The old bezels attachment holes look to me to have been eye-balled, so don't rely on sensible placement of the screw holes. Pro tip: Use the old bezels to mark the hole locations for the new bezels.
Also, it's hard to get a really good painted finish on aluminum. Richard did great on his...but he has pro level automotive spray equipment. I opted to go to a powder coater and am really happy how they turned out.
Good luck and post pics of your process.
