At the end of the day the accepted standard is that rear facing lights on a road going vehicle should be red. Giving the user the ability to change a rear facing light to any colour that isn't red is idiotic as its going to cause confusion to other road users at night and could have dangerous consequences. A big part of a designer's responsibility has become to consider the consequences of their designs being misused, so making one of the 'features' of the product something that actually in the main scenario of use is actually a misuse is pretty idiotic, and probably leaves them open to litigation if someone was to be involved in an accident when using these bars.
