Brake Light LED on Roof Spoiler for ISX50

Here's the pictures I took today of the LED bar mounted on the inside. I had only 2 pieces of 3M tape on either side so it follows the curve of the spoiler better. When I put tape in the middle to stick it to the glass, it was as expected....a straight line of LEDs that looked funny.
And as far as curving the LED strip, unless you heat it and are very careful about not breaking the traces, this will be very hard to do. This strip is a hard printed circuit board material that doesn't bend easily.
I may try to heat it and see how well this bends.
LMK what you guys think.

Thanks but I don't think it's bright enough. This makes it seem like the LEDs are too far apart.
Does anyone know if there are LED diffusers to disperse the light into a larger area? I know that there are some for the older LEDs that just snap on but I don't know about these SMD LEDs.
I also need to make a spacer to mount the middle of the strip properly to make it appear like it follows the window spoiler.

Can't really run 2 strips or 3 unless you want it looking fatter. You would have to apply the next one below that. I was thinking more along the lines of 1 LED between the existing ones. This may involve soldering them in between.

Looks cool, but it does not mention the "brake light" anywhere in the description which leads me to believe it is just a generic photo that they use to sell many roof spoilers and happens to have a brake light. You may want to contact the seller just to clarify... or buy it and return it if it isn't what you think it is. Amazon is awesome with returns.
