Have not bought one, but use a yellow tint safety glasses at night and found they really help. They remove the glare of on coming cars without compromising your vision.

Have often thought about getting these visors myself.

Many moons ago you could get night driving glasses. Sort of like sunnies but the amber colour. Haven't seen them for many moons though.

 It's the same thing only remarketed in order to maximise profits.

I am very interested in reports on these visors. Due to laser work done on my eyes because I have had type 1 Diabetes for 43 years I find when night driving I am not comfortable.

Paul, my eyes are not as good as they use to be and I found driving at night with Yellow tint or similar a lot more relaxing. The good news is it does not adversely affect your vision. You try some. I use safety glasses that I bought from Bunnings or BOC.

I saw a kid with ADHD wearing yellow specs maybe I can steal them from him although his mum was a fair bit bigger than me.

Had the 2 sets delivered last week. Don't bother if you want for a 4 wheel drive or larger vehicle, the screens sits too high. Useless.

Other set on wife's corolla. Don't use for the sun one, haven't tried the night. Oh, and you can't fold your car sun visor down when fitted. The sun comes through the top section. Forget it.hmm

 I have them on my Navara. Use the day one  set forward so I dont need to look through it but rather under it. Takes  off the glare. Do angle it down more and look through it  if the sun is low though. I can put my normal visor down. They are not big but work fine for me. I can see the problem with extra large windscreens though.

May try with car visor unclipped so I can lower.

Had the second set gifted to me and have it on my Hi Lix. Fitted it from the bottom of the car visor (Which is the top when not in use). When the coloured visors are folded up it is just like the old tinted strip along the top of the windscreen very handy for the later - mid morning sun. When folded down works a treat as a extra aid to your sunnies. Haven't needed the night shade as yet but does cut out glare on the one trial.

 Now that is good thinking.biggrin I just like being able to see the tall trees here in Tas instead of trying to peer under the normal visor:)
