The interest I got was just a bonus, and I'm looking into making a few more ;-)

I did look into the side emitting LEDs, and, while attractive for their brightness, I didn't want it to simply be a light coming from the headliner. I chose the aluminum cased diffused strip because it has a clearly sized light window. If I were to go with the brighter LEDs, I'd have to make my own diffuser and this would add time and cost, which I just can't do.
The side emitting ones are pretty nice, and I can understand why you wanted a diffuser to make it more of a light bar. I think I will go with the LED strip since the brake lights do not have a diffuser.

I have enough side projects going right now that I was hoping someone would just do this one for me lol. But I suppose I will add it to my list of mods.
