Buy a roll of 3M reflective tape at Home Depot or similar.
I printed out letters on plain paper, cut them out then traced them onto a manila folder to make sturdy templates.
Next i traced the templates onto the backing of the reflective tape (be sure to trace the letters backwards on tape backing so they're correctly oriented on the reflective side).
Then i individually placed the letters on my rims. Now i have built-in, lightweight, rotating side reflectivity on both sides of my bike.
When cars hit bikes, 90% of the time it's from the side (usually the right side).
Most rock front and back lights but forget side protection.
Side LED's would be ideal, but you'll never be stuck out afterdark completely unprotected if you just adhere some reflective tape to your bike front, back and both sides.
Get rad or go home, but do it safe.
