Default LED Question

Anyone have any ideas on how to diffuse the light so is spreads out a little more and isnt so much of a spot light? i put in leds behind my inside door handles, they look great but the rear passenger door shines right in my face if i turn around to look behind me. and yes before someone tries to scold me i can turn them off.

Thanks

You could try using a fine sand paper and sanding the end of the LED, that should diffuse the light some. If you sand it flat instead of round, it will diffuse it even more.
