I know you will continue to ride as though you are invisible - as we know - the safest way.
Tape is good I think - if not using added lights.
I think these are the lights fitted by a lot of folks on their front forks. I put these Philips on my wife's car since that year vehicle did not continue with DRL's - of which I'm an advocate. I aimed both of them  outboard a little in order to get the light more broadly dispersed to cars ahead.
They are used to make the car more visible - not used as enhanced driving lights.

yeah when I went down last month it was due to not being seen it was due to not caring they just had to pull out in front of me on a wet road cuz they just couldn't be bothered to wait 3 seconds for me to pass them then pull out their time and lives definitely mattered more than mine

you notice it up close but I specifically bought baby blue to try to match the bike also there is some reflective value in daytime too

A jacket to match. A nice touch. That would bring it to full on Tron. Actually, not a bad idea to add to clothing. I wear a construction reflective safety vest over my mc jacket.
