Heck, about 90% of all people riding bikes in my city don't even use tail lights at all at night, and another 60% of those have no reflectors either! And the cops don't care, I asked a cop friend of mine why they don't issue tickets and he said because the law says that if they get hit by a car without any lights and or reflectors the cyclists is automatically at fault regardless if the motorist was technically at fault. I think that's weird law, I understand the reasoning but the cops should try to prevent injuries and fatalities by issuing citations to cyclists who don't have lights and or reflectors, and beside the extra money from the fines will go toward needed city funds.
Interesting idea, converting a headlight to taillight. I've been using a DX UltraFire for about a year now and it's brilliant (pun intended). It would be nothing to make the glass red and mounting shouldn't be difficult.
