Lights, lots of lights. And *blinking* lights. This is important. "Still" lights can be interpreted as stationary by inattentive drivers. I use blinking lights on my helmet front and rear. Also a bright front in light and blinking rear light on the bike. Enhance with reflective tape on the rear frame, the back of your shoes and pedals if you can.
