From Wikipedia, "The United States Flag Code,"

"Ordinarily, it should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset, although the Flag Code permits nighttime display "when a patriotic effect is desired." Similarly, the flag should be displayed only when the weather is fair, except when an all-weather flag is displayed. (By Presidential proclamation and law, the flag is displayed contiunously at certain locations like the United States Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington and Lexington Green."

"The flag should be illuminated if displayed at night."

Is it illegal to display a foreign flag with a US flag if the foreign flag is larger?

No, it is just in bad taste. What is illegal is to display two national flags on the same pole, one below the other. They must be on separate poles at the same height. If on flag is the US flag, then the US flag must be on the left-hand pole as the observer is looking at it.U.S. Flag Code as contained in Federal Code RL30243 states: "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above thatof another nation in time of peace."
