I commuted by motorcycle for decades. The only relevant comment I can make about daytime riding is that bright sunny days, everyone sees you. But overcast days, you should act like you are invisible. I felt that I was safer on a sunny day even if my lights were turned off than I was on an overcast day with my lights on.
But, sunny or not, if the car driver is looking at their texts instead of the rest of world, you will get hit no matter what you do.
I have no relevant comments on taillights that were not already mentioned above.
