If you really think more lights will stop people from saying "I didn't see you." you are underrating the capacity of people to be willfully stupid!!!!!!!!!
You might want to look up something called "Target fixation".
What it basically says is that the more you focus on something to avoid it the greater the chance you have of hitting it.

All the emergency vehicles you see on the side of the road with all the lights flashing must have it all wrong, they should turn all their lights off so people won`t crash into them...

I was standing on top of a 70' utility pole while transferring fiber across I-35 in Dallas one night.
There was 5 cop cars waiting to close the interstate when we were ready to finish.
Yes they had their lights on and yes the last one in line got rear ended by a van going 70 mph.
No fatalitys but a couple of the cops did have to go to the hospital.
Their lights didn't do them much good.

Actually, if I could figure out a cool way to mount or french an pair of '59 Caddy taillights into my saddle bags, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
