i was too scared to put anything closer but ill go take some and some side views. this was my first thing to build.
all it is is a piece of flat steel from tractor supply since i have no other sources. i used tin snips and cut out the pattern i traced. and wired it up. pilot truck stops got some nicer leds i think.

i dont see why there would be a need for much more of a level other than aesthetics, i heard the boxes just push in anyway and i like keepin mine away from stuff. im still not done wiring and painting the one i took a close up of but im just puttin these out here
Those defintiely won't get hit. 
From an aesthetics point, it would be nice if the hatch didn't look like it stuck out.
The ones on my armor are actualy 3/16" with the body curve in them so they take a lot of abuse without bending.
I always thought, for just a light box, that you could do something at a 45* angle and then bevel in the lights so they aim straight out. At least that would cover the hatch.
But you're right, it works really well as is.

Rear reflectors?
Side lights?
Make it legal.
Looks like a good start.

i think the leds can be seen from the side, i dunno about reflectors unless i just got a strip and put it somewheres else. u could also move the bottom in more which ill do when i do more cuttin. - i guess its back to the coal mines to finish this.
