If you cannot discern a horizon, how can you keep the wings level without reference to instruments?

Use the ground you can see that's closer than the Hz.

Disclaimer: I do find Night VFR a bit of a conundrum.
There's more to VMC than just keeping the sky up. I think it's generally accepted that flying night VFR requires more reliance on instruments than day VFR does, but there are a whole heap of other things that are consistent with VFR flight such as visual separation from other traffic, visual separation from the ground, and visual circuit procedures.
