#1 rec is a good flashlight. This is not only useful for seeing where you're going, it can be used to get the attention of inattentive drivers. I also have a bike taillight on my backpack.

Could also look into adding reflectivity to your backpack.

1. Get a good flashlight and put it in your ride kit. Very useful for getting drivers' attention.
2. Get two more of them, and ziptie them under the rails like so, next to the tire where they are protected. Add magnetic charging connectors to make charging a snap, use right-angled ones if the charge ports are to the inside (this is how I have mine, with the button to the outside, which also adds a little bit of pop to the sideview of the board and makes it more visible). Add this between the flashlight and the rail, helps hold it in place better. You will have to periodically replace the zipties when they stretch or break, but those are cheap.

RE: one at a time - the flashlights I was using had a COB light on the side (that yellow strip there) as well as the regular forward-facing lamp. You can only activate one, or the other; but not both at the same time. Not a dealbreaker by any means, I just thought it might occasionally be fun to look like a dang UFO or something.

Land Surf makes good products. It's a really good looking fender shape-wise, and seems like it'd be impossible to break.
