A reflector is like a clever mirror, it doesn't shine by its own but will cause any light that hits it to bounce back in the direction that it came from.

A headlight is a light, if you have it on it will shine by itself. Reflectors are great for being seen by people who are shining a light in your direction while lights can be seen by anyone looking.
