Has anyone tried Fiber Optic lights? I'm working on a project to improve close-up visability for Right and Left Turning cars to see the bike better. What started out as joke turned into a project.

Ideally, it'd be good to get the whole helmet glowing. Now I'm not so sure. Last night checked out some left over phosphorous paint that is used on fishing lores but beyond say 10' you can't see the glow at all.
