Just get a green or white light and unsolder the LEDs and solder in some
blue LEDs. When run with a red light it really slows down the traffic around
you.

White maybe, but not green. Green LEDs run on a lower voltage than blue
ones. A "white" LED is really a blue LED with fluorescent material.

Well I swapped green LEDs for Blue and it worked. This was before any white
LEDs for bikes were available, so that shoots your comment down in flames.
