That's too funny because I do the same thing! I also have a 12v boat spot light for direct, up close and personal aggression as well.

I have to be extra careful not to rub my eyes or extra cautious about jumping
I switch brands of contacts and that really helped.. I have had good luck with biofinity contactsBlue jeans, MACK E-6 and Suspect Zero Thank this. -
I'm 62 and wear glasses. I have since I was 8. I accidently discovered that my current prescription pair are fairly bad with nighttime glare. Fortunately, have my previous pair with me and they are much better at night. So, for nighttime driving I wear my older pair. I don't know if you weat glasses, but if so, it's possible they could be part of the problem. Just compare the glare you see with your glasses than without them. If you don't wear glasses, IDK.
I used to love nighttime driving in a 4 wheeler and it still doesn't bother me to drive a 4 wheeler at night. But, really don't care for nighttime driving in a rig. You just don't see enough for my comfort. I'm sure part of it is because of my age. Not much to do about that. Getting older beats the alternative.Blue jeans, trapart and The_vett Thank this. -
One of my good friends is 26 and after years of struggling with nighttime driving he finally found putting a super light tint, something like 90% on his windshield made it so you can finally drive at night.

Been driving for 45 1/2 years have been wearing glasses since 6 years old .
Have a Cataract on left eye and built up scar tissue due to getting steel in my pupil.
I have anti glare lenses an 50 percent window tint . ( Can still see without rolling window at night to backup.lol )
I've always used anti glare red lights shining down above windshield helps in rain at night.
Been running fog lights for 35 years the yellow light helps with the blue light coming from these new headlights. That's what helps me .
5 more years , I'm done.
Keep on Trucking . The Lord's Blessing me .
Only 1 accident in that period of driving.wis bang, RubyEagle, Blue jeans and 8 others Thank this. -

I use the night vision yellow glasses and they definitely help cut the glare down...I have gotten headaches on occasion also from headlights...A few times I have actually put on my daytime sunglasses...They do block everything out but make it very difficult to see...One time though I had such a headache I had to wear them for a while...I think that was on one of those stretches of highways where people refuse to shut their high beams off....I also turn my mirrors out or up like constantly when I'm driving.
