I believe that traditionally and formally, they are codified to be lit at night. I personally do not find it disrespectful to leave it unlit - the very fact one is flying an American flag, to me, indicates pride in the flag, not an inherent disrespect. Now, if you have it laying on the ground or on fire... that's a very different story.
