I find it very unlikely that, with the LEDs mounted where I have mine, they'd be covered up by the passenger's feet or clothing, unless your passenger sits with their feet at odd angles.
I used individually pre-wired LEDs for my install, as linked. I did not use a board or any form of mounting surface. What I did was I bundled them together using zip ties and heat shrink as best as I could, and then pressure-fitted them into the drilled holes (the LED's metal +/- leads add some stiffness that help hold the LEDs in). After some minor adjustments and getting everything fitted in as best as possible, I filled in the peg with silicone.
I'd be willing to do it as a service for a reasonable fee (cost of lights, materials, shipping and time, naturally). You'd just have to be willing to part with your passenger pegs for a couple weeks.

.Btw i didnt drill 25 holes, i just make a huge hole and i've putted all the 25 leds side by side. Like i told you, ill make a how to.
Guys, I have to tell you that the results wasn't as perfect as i expected to be cause some leds are aiming to a different place than the rest of the leds, about the light its perfect but if you see the pegs too close it looks a little bad but im thinking re-doing them later.....

If you redo it, i would use individual holes for each led and use less...as ragnar said, cutting that much material out for your pegs can seriously reduce its ability to support any weight. With the holes, leds have a little flange on the back edge, this is probably why they are pointing in crazy directions, it doesnt allow them to butt up against each other nicely. As long as your individual holes are drilled straight, the LEDs will be straight.
