    The night drivers

    Most good night driving glasses have two coating, one is the yellow tint, the second is a Zeis coating like what is on a set of binoculars which very efficiently block the glare you get from oncoming bright lights. My night drivers were fairly expensive at about 325 buck but there isn't any other set that I have ever had that equaled them for blocking the bright and glare of oncoming headlights. they also work great seeing in a heavy downpour, you wouldn't think they would help but they are excellent for that also.

    Good anti glare glasses are well worth the cost for night driving ( I have worn glasses from the age of 5) BUT my main issue is with the headlights over powering a cars signal lights. and making it hard to see the signals.
    If and when someone actually uses their signals before turning left in front of me, I would like to see the signal and be ready for the guy to "not see me" and turn in front of me.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    Its not only good to be able to see his turn signal but like you said, for him to see you. Since I bought the bright white driving lights from Value Accessories I haven't had one car turn in front of me or pull out in front of me and I can only think that those lower bright white light are working for people to see me. I had 4 or 5 close encounters before their installation and none since. I didn't change anything else, still have the stock headlights in and the driving lights were the only change. I think they are worth the money just for the safety aspect as I am just a day rider and leave them on all the time and I don't ride at night.
