If they forget, or feel that it's safer while they take the runway, (a lot of old guys out there and it helps them see....fine). If we are taxiing nose to nose and they tell me to stop and the other guy to go, it's a confirmation that the other guy has the taxi clearance, nothing like being nose to nose with someone way down the taxiway, moving and nobody has their taxi light on to see.

Some people just flash their taxi light on briefly as they take the runway, and I'm good with that too. There's no doubt who is taking the runway. In the daytime, I barely even notice the taxi light. I'm not sure why it is such a big deal. Reading this, it sounds like the taxi lights are overwhelmingly blinding to some.
