Well the important thing is that you are not injured, so yes, lights are good but daylight is best. Imagine being caught, unable to free yourself, screaming for help, and no one can help because you can't be heard over the engine roar and the TV. I must admit to doing questionable things by myself but also to sometimes having the missus watch me for the few minutes it takes to do something that involves risk.
Be safe, be careful.
All the best,
Martin
