Bicycle lights do help cars see bicycles.  The closest I have come to
hitting a biker (the car to my right got him) the bicycle was crossing
the road in front of me at a 45 degree angle.  All the reflectors (front, rear
and wheel) were invisible at that angle.

A head/tail light combination are visible from a much greater angle.
