Great Idea! I bought the same lights and am in the process of making the mounting plate. I'm trying to mount the lights flush and have the bracket closer to the rear. I really like what you've done and may change my design.

Can you post some pics of how you mounted the bracket to the fender and the wiring? I think it will look great when you are finished.

Only potential issue is most states require the signals to be a set distance apart. if a vehicle was coming from behind and you were in the middle lane of a highway at night and signal for a lane change the person might not realize which direction you're actually wanting to go. I have signals built into the light but they are actually directional in nature to indication left/right

Outfriginstanding, now that's using your head, a little ingenuity, and some scrap metal to make something truly unique.
Unfortunately with all the guys around here looking for something new that idea isn't going to stay unique for too long.
But be that as it may you did an excellent job, just one question. Where are you putting the plate, under it or on the side?
