Technically....
You will be able to fly in Class B or C IF you get prior permission via
telephone or possibly via radio if you have a handheld or panel mount.
Flew my Corben (no lights, no generator, no transponder, Do have a
handheld Nav/Com) into Springfield, IL Class C several years ago.
Stopped about 45 minutes out, called them on the phone. They said go
ahead and call on radio about 20 miles out. Did that, they told me to
take a left turn for radar ident, about 1/2 second later they said radar
confirmed, y'all c'mon in! They even routed a pair of Guard F-16s out
around me as I got into the pattern
As Ron says, if you have no engine driven generator, you can fly in the
MODE C VEIL but outside of Class B airspace (under it) unless you have
communicated with the owners of the airspace prior to entering it.
No lights? No night flying.

With no lights and or transponder, where will I not be able to fly?
In Class B or C airspace, or at night. If your plane has an engine-driven
electrical system, you also will not be able to fly within the 30 nm Class B
"Veil."
