Has anyone used "headlight glasses" for driving?

I keep seeing these pop up on my Facebook feed but I don't know if they

1. Actually work
Or
2. Are legal, as they look like sunglasses

Just wondering if anyone here can offer any opinions/reviews.

I don't drive at night now. I think it's dangerous if you are struggling to see.
For younger people their eyes will adjust to glare in about two seconds. Older people can take up to ten seconds to adjust. Ten seconds is a long time when you are driving.
If I need to go a out I take a taxi.

The real problem is those very bright white LED lights that modern cars have.

It is those that should have a yellow filter on them so that their lights are not so dazzling.

I bought Ducal ones off Amazon for £25 and find them absolutely wonderful! I had to do a longish drive very early in the morning back in January and suddenly realised that I was actually enjoying my night driving while wearing them and had got my confidence back. I really would - and do! - recommend them.

My husband got some from Specsavers and he is a big fan, says they really make a difference. I don’t drive at night if I can avoid it because of the haloes round headlights that I experience.
