Generally no, but the bicycle has to be properly equipped for it. This usually means a white light and a white reflector facing front, a red light and red reflector facing rear, and orange reflectors facing sideways.

Riding w/o lights at nights in traffic is not only illegal, it's suicidal. Because w/o light or reflectors you become very hard to spot for other motorists, who might unintentionally run you down.

The exact laws may differ from place to place, but usually a bicycle only require lights and reflectors if it's being used after dark.

Are blackout headlights illegal?

The idea of headlights is two-fold: * to see where you are going at night * and to be "seen" at night If your headlights are blacked out, how on earth will you be able to light your way at night or be seen by oncoming traffic? Headlamps must emit a certain candlepower in order to be street legal at night. It may not be "cool" looking to have clear lenses, but there is a safety factor that greatly outweighs "being cool". The life you save might just be your own.
