Where I live, it'll soon be dark by 16:30. I have a good headlight and an ok taillight on my winter ride but I'd like to add some fun, funky lights for added visibility and lolz. There's a lot of crap out there especially on Amazon, what have you all had good experiences with?

Get a toplight on your helmet (combined front and back light) leave it on there, except when it needs charging so that you ALWAYS have a light available. It's surprisingly easy to forget your other lights in the morning.

I set the toplight to flash, so wherever you look, there is a flashing light. The amount of times I 'surprise' a driver who is about to pull out, just by looking at them has probably saved me a lot of grief over the years.
