You can still purchase the red-orange through:
I bought some from them not too long ago.
Shipping was pretty fast and they are very bright.

Have you looked into makrolon lumen xt for the diffuser?
I've heard some good things about the product but unless you can get some samples from a supplier its a little risky to buy a sheet 48"x96" (~$200+).
They do offer it in various thicknesses though.
Are you running the same leds on the left side in that picture?
I'm guessing the high intensity is making the diffused tail look washed out?
Also, which superflux batch did you get?

I was able to diffuse the LEDs with the stock diffuser so they look like solid lines close up also. Both tails have the same LEDs left side is on a pwm and right is dimmed with a resistor to take a picture. If I remember correctly they are G bin.

I've been looking through different Diffuser material for some red custom plexiglass taillight project I'm doing similar to this. I've been trying to avoid that break in the line for the blinker separator. This is something unique I've come across but any home Depot light cover will work as well. I don't believe my source sells this online but I'll look into it if any is interested.

That's what I used first but with only hand tools I could not cut out the acrylic perfect enough to fit in the housing. It also gives a non OEM look so I pretty much scrapped the idea right away. It did diffuse the leds enough to not see the hotspots though.

Getting a good template made is the hard part. Once you have that it's just a little jigsaw work and heating it up to flex and sanding to a good fit.

I need to order more LEDs to make an official set. There are some things I do not like such as the top right corner and I bent the perf board too much on the right side so it looks uneven. Although that is only noticable in pictures but it still bothers me.
