You said that rear you have mounted rear light. Where is it located?
When you think about light placement, remember the the human eye sees movement better than a fixed light.
I currently live in a bike friendly area. However, I use a white head light mounted on my bars, a red flashing light under my seat, a red flashing light on my left seat stay and a red flashing light on my backpack. I always wear a god awful yellow/green jersey with alumalite and I have reflective stickers on the heals of my shoes and my helmet. I also follow the traffic laws. It still amazes me the number of people that are surprised that a cyclist would actually commute by bike to work in the morning.
When I lived in an area where you were taking your life in you hand going down a one way, the right way in a car, I used a helmet light. It worked wonders!!! Nothing scares a person more than headlights when they are doing something wrong.
When you commute at night, remember the times when you were stuck in a car in traffic and how you were tired, aggravated and possibly jealous of that guy passing you, that was having fun and getting his workout in without taking time from the family, significant other or what ever. Remember they are not paying attention and you need to watch for them!
Sorry for my first post, it was way to long to a simple question.
