I did some digging and it looks like there aren't any night-safe sunglasses that are effective at night. Glare from headlights is different from the sun's ans there is no UV. So even the yellow/amber glasses don't have a possitive effect while driving at night.
In my case I've driven through the twilight with my amber tints several times because I would be facing the sunset or maybe just forgot I was wearing them. After the sun goes completely down and I finally take them off, I notice that I can't see all that much better with them off.
Same thing with wearing them indoors, I can see fine indoors with my amber lenses, but I take them off because I'd just look like a tool wearing them indoors.
Just my $.0002

ok, i can understand why some of you think it's a bad idea, and i'll stop doing it starting now, but some of you are making it sound so bad like i'm out there driving drunk or high or something. i was just asking if anyone else had done it or tried it before......sorry about my dumb idea, my bad!

Shoot, as long as you can handle your own ish who cares? I think you are right about ppl making it seem like you are driving drunk, while doing blow off your dash, and being blind folded.

I used to have a pair of those slider glasses... still do but they need to be fixed. I have like 6 different lenses. At night with the right lense... woot.
other than that... no. Can't see anything.
