Indeed, it's a great time to learn. You can make the shape you want with chicken wire, pull it out, put packing tape over the side you won't see of it, and lay your glass over the packing tape. That will give you a smooth inside finish. Don't forget to lay in whatever fasteners you need, as well, for the lid/lights, etc.
I helped a guy do a set for a 240SX (pig nose) similar to this, but with normal round lights.

Didn't somebody on here take their flip-up lights, chop off the front bit of the cover, and put some early 90's Grand Prix lights in there?

Go to Wally World, man. Or any parts store. They have D.O.T. fog lights and driving lights, you just aim each one separately for lows and highs.
Wire them so that they're both on for highs, though, unless you plan on using separate driving/fog lights.

BTW - those buckets are going to look sweet.
Also - Cut once only applies if you can't glue/tape it back together...
