Last night, having to drive in the dark and most people having ultra bright lights and/or driving with their brights on, I decided to drive with my sunglasses on. It was great, like driving back in the 80s when light candlepower output was normal. No oncoming traffic, and the sunglasses came off, oncoming traffic, sunglasses went on. There's a lot of traffic and streetlights on city streets, so even with sunglasses on and no oncoming traffic, it wasn't too dark.

I bought some night time driving sun glasses and it really helps me going to work when it's dark. Cuts glare from oncoming headlights.

Can you post up what brand, etc? Driving at night is not fun anymore. Too many bright lights leaving one blinded as they pass by

I bought Hella lights and a headlight harness/relays from LMC probably 13 years ago for my 85 K20 Suburban. Currently have Hella Xenon Blue lamps. I like em.

To solve that issue, I've been looking into getting a mild tint for the windshield. Has autoglass changed too much in 40 years to make that worth doing?
