I like the reflective vests that are mostly mesh (like this) as opposed to straps -- they feel very light. With one of these guys clipped to the back if I am in super dark conditions.
I ran one of those overnight relay races where they make you wear all this safety gear, and I was surprised at how comfortable a decent headlamp can be.

Make sure to bring like 2 or 3 though. You'll use lose it or have it malfunction.
I put electric tape around the seal and zip tie it to my ruck.
I've been using Petzl Tikka headlamps for years, both at work and for running, and they're great. 3 or 4 AAA batteries and you're good to go.
Also, if you're gonna run in the dark, get one of these:

and a couple of blinkie strobes:

You'll use them eventually, trust me.
I wear this on one arm. Super bright. Takes two 2032 coin batteries, included. It has been fantastic for me so far, apart from the buckle rusting and staining the fabric. (Who makes a running product that can't be exposed to sweat?)
I wear this on my back. Again, uses two 2032 coin batteries, included. Simple to use, fairly bright. I recommend it highly.
On my front, I wear a simple headlamp. Sometimes, if I'm feeling extra paranoid, I put a small red LED on my left shoelaces. And I always, always wear a reflective vest.
Using this setup, I significantly improve my visibility...but there are still times I nearly get run over. Drivers are fucking clueless.
Edit: also, I leave my GPS watch's backlight on during all my runs, for an extra (not very bright) moving light source on my left arm.
I been running with this Nathan light clipped to the back of my shorts. It's super bright and has solid and blinking modes. Rugged little light with a strong clip.
