He's talking about tail lights, by the way.
D'Oh!

No. Don't mount taillights on the front fork. You want the motorist behind you to see the taillight. There's just too many ways in which you could mask the light with too much stuff to make it safe to do.

And don't let me catch you mounting red lights on the front of your bike that point forward Red rear, white front.
