It's not the cops I'd be worried about, but rather the defense attorney in civil court. If I'm trying to recover damages after their distracted client failed to notice my 100 lumen tail light or 500 lumen head light, that attorney may argue contributory negligence if my bike didn't have the legally required pedal reflectors, front and rear side reflectors (which can be spoke reflectors), or the white front and red rear reflectors.
I can imagine situations that could get really complicated where bike rider ends up in the hospital with a huge bill and the car has thousands of $ in damage ...

Light a cake candle and place the reflector where it should go. Retract it and heat the spike with the candle for 60 seconds. Remember that the hottest spot of the flame is few millimetres above the flame. Remove the candle, push reflector into its place, it is secure. Do not burn your fingers.
