I live in the SF Bay Area and about 20% of cars are driven with their high beams on all the time. The drivers just click that stalk and leave it there no matter what. It’s an epidemic.
They technically work for me. They make bright lights darker… Because they make everything darker. I can’t see anywhere near as good normally while wearing them.
I did it mainly for looks. It’s a vanity tint more than anything. The white/blue LED lights are a tinge more yellow and seem less painful, but it’s still ridiculous that it’s even a consideration
Seeing this all the time in Chicago too. It’s really frustrating. Coupled with the same vehicle height and regular light brightness inflation that’s been occurring it’s really bad.

They think the blue indicator means their headlights are on.
Technically not wrong.
I thought this was just a Portland thing… “surely everyone can’t be that stupid”
My latest pair of glasses have a yellow tint for this very reason
I see this more in cities. I feel like people who drive in constantly lit streets, don’t understand when to use highbeams, because they never have to.
Are the glasses actually effective? Seems like the effect is controversial and perhaps detrimental.

Conversely… people can’t see as well wearing these glasses or having treated windows so their headlights get brighter… this is kind of bananas

Same in Miami. It’s infuriating
It’s gotta be some kind of meme, where friends tell friends to do the thing, and they pass it on, because it’s gotten worse and worse over time.
How do you know they’re not really bright stock/aftermarket lights?
Far fewer than 1/5 vehicles in SF/SJ have their high beams on IMO.
