The law is clear: Highway Code rule 114 [Law RVLR reg 27] "You MUST NOT
use any lights in a way which would dazzle or cause discomfort to other
road users, including pedestrians and cyclists"


Except the Highway Code carries no legal weight at all


The use of the phrase "must not" implies that the thing which must not
be done is forbidden by law.

The relevant legislation appears to be The Road Vehicles Lighting
Regulations 1989.

Regulation 27 seems to be the operative part.
