I also added a red LED strip as a brake light; it's wired via a micro lever switch to my rear brake.)
I've always though of doing this, but thought I was crazy for even considering it. I'd definitely feel 1000 times better if I were able to communicate my intentions to drivers at night. I just might copy your idea.
Thanks!
