Consider any increase in visibility as added value.

Now I'm thinking about adding a separate RGB LED so I can have virual blue dots.

What was the initial idea behind those "Blue Dot" tail lights from the ...
In taillights with internal parabolic reflectors, the blue dots gave a very vivid magenta color to the taillight when viewed from directly behind. It's actually pretty neat. On vehicles with no reflector inside the taillight housing, the effect was much less pronounced and not worth doing.

The Idea Behind "Blue Dot" Tail Lights - #1 Best Answer
A strong theory exists that says that the blue dot tail lights were first created because it was believed that they could cut through the fog on the road better than other colors available on the market at the time. Truthfully, this isn't the worst theory that anyone has come up with.
