OK, my CF7 ditch lights mount on the pilot so I got a different kit, but Railflyer's 6631 EMD deck-mounted ditchlight kit probably covers your design (it offers a number of options). This kit is an etched metal box with a plastic light fixture, and is designed to accept LEDs. The link below has some photos and a pdf of the etchings.

BTW, what are you using for the MU stand? I picked up Detail Associate's MU Receptacle kits (1507 and 1509) and figured I'd glue the plug on the front of a styrene block, but am wondering if there is a better option. I also haven't found an accurate detail kit for the coupler bars. Unless I missed something, those will have to be scratchbuilt. Searching for good photos of detail parts can certainly be an adventure!
