Mutant Vehicles are inspected at night for radical illumination that is expected to present a visually stunning and enthralling image enhanced by motion. Creators must consider and provide for safety illumination of trailer hitches / draw bar connections, stairs, rails and overhead projections.

The BLM Special Stipulations for the event require Mutant Vehicles to have the following minimum safety lighting.

Vehicles operating during night hours, from a half-hour after sunset to a half-hour before sunrise, shall comply with the following:

(1) Headlights shall be of sufficient power to illuminate an object at 300 feet at night under normal, clear atmospheric conditions. Two- or three-wheeled vehicles or single-tracked vehicles will have a minimum of one headlight. Vehicles having four or more wheels or more than a single track will have a minimum of two headlights, except double tracked snowmachines with a maximum capacity of two people may have only one headlight.

(2) Red taillights, capable of being seen at a distance of 500 feet from the rear at night under normal, clear atmospheric conditions, are required on vehicles in the same numbers as headlights.
