    If you've ever worn goggles or shooting glasses with bright yellow lenses, you know how they can brighten up a dark day, and add tons of contrast to force-huck flat light... But at night, they totally take the edge off leds and misdirected hids.

    Ooh la la, boy do I miss France in the late 80's / early 90's, everyone ran yellow headlight covers. It was very civil. (But they didn't have any Moose!)

    Heh, I’ve been thinking about a pair of night driving glasses for awhile now actually.

    In the winter months I’m commuting 2hrs a day in the dark on a shitty two lane road with the occasional large critter and not so occasional bright light asshat.

    I've been looking for an excuse to rock the Walter Aviators.

    Now I'll be able to see what happens when you find someone in the alps!

    Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.

    I have a pair. Decent glasses. Didn't really help on-coming glare or actual night driving but they are good for low-light times in the winter and around dusk. Wear them on the moto/mtb mostly - properly polarized so they cut the water glare impressively so expect to use them fishing. Not bad for $25 and look a little less "I'm on the way to the range" than Walter's.

You could tell exactly when I got it just right because he backed off a ways, and eventually turned his brights off. Still stayed behind me though.
    My Dad showed me this trick on our first cross country drive. Just point the mirrors back so they are not in your eyes and forget about them.

    How does this technology distinguish between an oncoming vehicle as opposed to say, a bull elk or a down tree when deciding to shut off strings of LEDs?

    Yeah that's what I normally do. It's not nearly as satisfying though.

    Damn near got taken out on the highway the other night by one. NOBODY in the left lane so he had all the opportunity in the world to pass. I was chilling at speed limit in my mommy-mobile, but nope. Asshole comes out of nowhere, wanting to go warp speed and gotta beam the shit out of me with his headlights 3 inches off my bumper. Then after a few miles of driving like that, he does that whole swerve hard to pass move, missing me by inches, engine roaring, as he swerves back to the right lane to do the same thing to the NEXT guy ahead. Passing lane still totally clear. Some serious 'roid rage going on out there or something.

    If it would vaporize the car behind you it could work
