I am looking for decent inexpensive (I really don't want to spend much at all) lights for the bicycle I am about to purchase.
I would ideally like a headlight and a tail light. Something very low-profile. I don't want a giant beaming lazer cannon.
I live in New York City. So there is a decent amount of street lights and ambient light. But I would like something extra just to be a bit more visible to motorists, pedestrians, and other cyclists.
The primary goal is safety (as well as being cheap).
I don't particularly plan on riding during bad weather (rain, snow, extreme cold... in fact I probably won't be riding much at all during the frigid east coast winters) but it would be ideal if the lights were somewhat weatherproof at least through rain conditions.
Here are the lights I am currently considering:

Being able to see what's ahead of me (if I were ever to ride through dark conditions) would be an added bonus, but not an extreme necessity. The primary focus would be added visibility and safety.
