If you're counting on lights to save your live, good luck. I expect that every car I see will run me over, and ride accordingly. I also ride a motorcycle, with great lights, and expect that drivers are not going to see me, and am amazed at how often I'm correct. Drivers should be paying attention, and the lights help, but you'll always lose when contact is made. when bikes & cars are around each other, the law is on the side of the biker, but if you're dead, it won't matter much.
