I believe FAR 121.590 is the relevant FAR, which reads in part:
(2) For an airplane carrying passengers at night, the pilot may not take
off from, or land at, an airport unless--
(i) The pilot has determined the wind direction from an illuminated wind
direction indicator or local ground communications or, in the case of
takeoff, that pilot's personal observations; and
(ii) The limits of the area to be used for landing or takeoff are clearly
shown by boundary or runway marker lights. If the area to be used for takeoff
or landing is marked by flare pots or lanterns, their use must be approved by
the Administrator.
