Then ensure that the stern white light can only be seen 67.5 degrees both sides off-center and is visible 2 nautical miles away.
Regarding two stern lights:

I believe that two white lights from behind indicates a sailboat under sail and you must yield right of way. Said sail boat must switch to one rear facing white light when powered by a motor or engine.

So there is some logical reason for this, but this is a topic for a different thread.
