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


I class any light when it isn't dark as a distraction. You should only draw attention to yourself if you need to, for example you're turning, braking, or an unusual vehicle like an ambulance, motorcycle, etc. If everybody has lights, then you are less likely to notice the ones you need to.
