Adding a second taillight to an existing one is going to dim your headlight significantly. By my calculations, adding a second taillight reduces the headlight power to 1.7W and each taillight to 0.4W. Total power from the hub is then reduced to 2.5W instead of the standard 3W.
If you have a secondary headlight, it would be possible to add the second taillight in parallel with it and reduce the bulb to 2.4W. This would be a better approach. But it would be best to use a batter light for the secondary taillight. Metal fenders have a rolled edge where you can feed the taillight wire. You may need to pry the edge open slightly where the wire needs to exit the fender at the taillight. you might want to use a dab of silicone adhesive where the wire is exposed. I don't know why you would not want a standlight on your secondary taillight, but they are available.
