Yeah .... well, as far as I know it is illegal and unwise to aim a white light back .... the reason being that red lights are supposed to indicate the rear of the vehicle.

I actually like two tail lights out of synch on the back in very high-traffic, highly dynamic areas--(lots of lane-switching, driveways, side streets, where cars can be going almost randomly along the road---think of stretches of roadways between multiple major shopping centers at Christmas ..... )..... and Not two strobes, because I really don't want to be causing epileptic fits.
