They’re not a fan of night driving glasses.
Tried a pair of yellow tints years ago, traffic lights showing up a different colour meant they went in the bin…

Yellow specs, just remember you’ve got them on and traffic lights will be a different colour. Takes the edge of some of the ultra bright xenon lights dazzle.
Used to wear these, cut down the glare related sore heads. They worked for me but obviously not for everyone.

I fing these are good they are milatry spec
Turning the brightness down on me satnav helps (only have it on for company honest).
Raise dipped beam a couple of notches, helps see further ahead without dazzling other motorists.
Not ideal if your up front leading the way, I like it better when I come up somebodies bottom. Always disappointing when they pull off though.
Those of you saying about the traffic lights need to bear in mind that those were probably the cheapy dark yellow plastic lensed ones (often picked up in garage forecourts for under a fiver), the ones that I’m referring to are the proper night driving glasses with polarised yellow tinted lenses and won’t sit on your ugly beak for less than £25! they DO NOT noticeably change the colour of traffic lights, and they also work well in fog eliminating a great deal of the headlight throwback glare from your own lights
Only thing I don’t like about night driving is when the thick fog on A roads reduces visibility to about 10ft in front of you.

I find your posts as good as your spelling…
The trick is to stop looking at oncoming lights, this protects your night vision so you can see easier. Problem is also you are looking for the same visual clues when driving at night as you do in the daytime for things such as the route the road takes. You can’t and you need to learn to use different ones.
It’ll come to you eventually.

Also if yellow lenses cause you problems with traffic lights you probably shouldn’t be driving. With very few exceptions lights are red at top amber middle and green bottom 
40 years ago(ish)…
France relied on yellow headlights at night.
I remember my dad painting our Vauxhall Victors headlights with yellow paint before we left for France.
To be honest in the rain, everything was still as confusing back then as it is today.
