for your future attention - if the damage was on your passenger side then by the sound of things you were parked facing the onxoming traffic and as it was night means you were parked illegally.

When a post starts "for your future attention..." you sort of know what's coming next
The OP never said that he didn't have parking lights on.

but having parking lights on does not make a difference (apart from potentially adding to the broken laws if it was above 30mph zone). What does make a difference is if it was a recognised parking area....

"222: You MUST NOT park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space.
Laws CUR reg 101 & RVLR reg 24"

Laws CUR reg 101 & RVLR reg 24

What is this? A google only shows up the highway code which is advisory not "the law" (though obviously some parts of it are based on the law)
