second gen driving lights on first gen?

Have been looking at putting driving lights on my first gen mini. Like the look of the MINI LED DRIVING lights in chrome but know they mount different than the first gen lights. Was wondering if anyone has mounted the new style mini LED lights on a first gen and how they did it

thanks

Based on this picture: https://c1552172.ssl.cf0.rackcdn.com/638365_x800.webp there is no bracket mounted on the light. If you are handy with tools or know someone who is the brackets themselves would be easy to make - just need a U shaped piece of steel with holes for the bolt "ears" on the light body, then a hole or a welded on bolt to go into the R53 mount.
