While I doubt that would happen under State/Provincial law, it is possible to be fined for having too many headlights under Municipal Bylaw. The City of Red Deer, Alberta has a bylaw that states you can have no more than three headlights, due to the potency of some of the headlights out there. I don't know of anyone ever being fined for exceeding that limit though.

And why are you cycling AGAINST the flow of traffic? A better thing to do, would be to wait till the ferry has unloaded, then go. That way, you don't have to worry about a flood of vehicles behind you. I'm assuming you've just gotten off the ferry from Swartz Bay or Gulf Islands.
