Never mind that it's not legal. It's not a good idea. Please don't do this.

No, No, No. White front, red rear. I like the cygolite hotshot for rear. Cygolite metro for front.

I do like how it looks like a reflector, I hope this keeps the thieves from noticing it. I wish they hadn't equipped it with a quick release tab and had instead fixed it permanently though. I'm tempted to try model glue on it.
Have to agree with those saying that it isn't a good idea to mount a white light rear facing though. FWIW, Cateye makes the same light in red, but there are better rear blinkies out there. I'm partial to the Mars 4.0

This is a horrible idea.
I hope you receive a ticket for improper lighting.
At a minimum, get a red flashing light (which is still illegal in most of the EU), if you want a "blinking" light.
