Was given late descent clearance into EIDW on OSGAR 1L arrival requiring a high rate of descent was given altimeter setting of 1023mb. First Officer (FO) reconfirmed and was given 1032mb. Continued shortened arrival for ILS Runway 28. Encountered VMC at 2;000 feet. Runway contact at 1;500 feet. Noticed several unusual lights on runway that resembled vehicle tail lights. FO asked tower if any vehicles on runway and response was no. Continued approach; at 1;000 feet Captain inquired if any vehicles were on runway. Tower said that there had been pilot reports of unusual lighting around taxiways E3 and R4 but no vehicles on runway. Continued to normal landing. On roll out FO noticed 'distracting' lights coming from runway abeam taxiways E3 and E4. We exited runway at taxiway E6 with normal taxi to gate.
Upon landing it was very noticeable and distracting from the right seat and the Captain stated this to Tower that the lighting was not normal as we exited the runway at E6 the lady controller replied she would relay this complaint to her manager and supervisor. Then we switched to ground for taxi instructions to the gate. Rest of flight normal.
