Night time glare in mirrors


Recommended Posts

Dear Marjorie Proops.,  I'm not grizzling, but I'm suffering from night time glare in my car's mirrors.  Is there any hope ?

Katie the TR is so low that the LED lights of modern day Chelsea tractors / armoured kiddie-run vehicles and bumper-kissing white vans are fading the car's carpets.  I have tried mirroring the light back, using my God-given bald patch, and have even polished that with Brylcreem, but I suspect ..because its surface is convex and just a little lumpy - the reflection is dissipated.

Youthful optician advises I have symptoms of cataracts, but hardly anything at all and certainly not worthy of an operation at this conjuncture.  I don't have no problem with warmer coloured headlamp glare, but struggle to avoid the whiter or bluer glare of LED's ..especially on those ever more frequent occasions - when my car is silhouetted against the town's road-signs or the hedgerows along country lanes.  Yellow night-driving glasses barely help at all, and of course the car's wing mirrors are not electric, whereby I might easily tilt them to one side.  My being blinded by the glare reflected through side and interior mirrors places pedestrian and cyclists road users in jeopardy, and as a consequence I'm refraining from using the TR at night.   I wonder if there are effective and yet cost effective anti-glare filters, perhaps stick on, which I might use to cover the wing mirrors at night.?  

Thank you for your thoughts, 

Mr Frumpy
