here's the story
i'm 17 i joined a volunteer fire district, we have a 16 year old kid who was riding his bike to a call the district. He got hit by a car on the way to the fire house. He was out of action for a little bit but is fine and he likes to try and shed light on what happened. Now all of the guy bust him every chance we get. His birthday is coming up.

we want to find a bike helmet with a LARGE blue or red flashing light
i found a carton picture of what would be ideal http://www.be-safe.org/books/books_bicycle/media_books/971523.gif
If you find anything for sale like this please give me the link
Something bulky or if you could make one i will buy it
im not looking for anything super expensive
and it doesnt need to last i doubt it will get used it just needs to light up
If anyone has one that is used ill buy it only needs to work for a short time
 
I'm not aware of any bike lights that are red or blue. All headlights I've seen are white and all taillights I've see are red. In most states that's what's required under the traffic law.

Many bike headlights are helmet mounted, though, and some have a flashing mode for use in the twilight hours for extra visibility. A steady white headlight and red taillight are required after sunset, though.

There is one light I've seen that is available for police bikes, but I don't know if any special paperwork is required to purchase one. Here's a link:

(Edit) Actually, I just looked over the specs for the Nite Rider light and it is available with red and/or blue lenses that flip down over the white light. Maybe something like this would work for you. Warning: They are a bit on the expensive side, but they are great lights. I've had a system for about 5 years and it works great.

Many people use a standard taillight and mount it to the back of the helmet. Some might be hard to mount but there is one that is very small that has a leash you can wrap around almost anything and loop it over the light to secure it.
