   Good lights are required if riding at night, unfortunately they are not   
   *legally* required...  my bike has a BuMM IQ Cyo headlight and a Shimano   
   hub dynamo (obviously not a racy type bike) and if you can't see that   
   coming, you shouldn't be on the road.  I put little bits of reflective   
   tape all over the frame too.   
      
   Unfortunately it seems that most people who ride at night think that it   
   makes them look too fredly to be conspicuous, but I kinda like not being   
   metabolically challenged, and I never have been mistaken for cool anyway.
