All of the lights are part of the electronics package and are part of the electronics road cases. So if you request just the field, you won't be getting any of the lights.

With that being said, generally for off-seasons it doesn't cost too much to add the electronics in. You have to pay to ship the field anyways, so really your only extra costs are paying the travel expenses for an FTA to come to your event (which isn't a requirement but a courtesy that should be extended). Trust me when I say, full electronics or not, if you can get an FTA to volunteer for your event, things will run a lot smoother.
