If you use the lights that go in between the bumper bars use contact cement to stick the wires to the underside of the bars that the bumper mounts to. No one will see the wires. No zip ties etc... needed.

Where did you get them? Were they already curved? Any mounting details?

Bruce, got them through Amazon

SOCAL-LED 2x Arrow LED DRL Switchback Strips 10" (25cm) 12V Sequential Flashing Turn Signal Lights, Dual-Color Amber White

They are flexable and have adhesive back and two mounting holes on end. I made a mounting bracket from aluminum 1 inch stock from Farm & Fleet, shaped it to conform with the bumper and wrapped it around the end bolt to make it more secure. They are supposed to be driving lights and turn signals, driving lights go off when turn signal is on.... neat set up! BUT with all the "noise" produced in the Model A , as soon as I started the engine the little computer ? in the small box went nuts. I ended up removing the box, that gave you turn or driving lights, I took the turn signals. They work great and can be seen very well.

Thought you would be able to "click and open" but you will have to "copy and past" to open. My bad

Beehive lights AKA clearance lights, should be available at most auto parts stores, like this:
