I am not being facetious so I will ask if you have had your eyes checked for cataracts, (causes night vision problems), as I know I have this problem while driving at night. Headlights have a star around them and they always seem like they have their bright lights on. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't so I avert my eyes to the passenger side and use my peripheral vision when needed.

As we get olderr, night driving becomes more of a problem as visibility is greatly reduced.

What I have noticed is most cart head lights or blinding. I think if there was a way to take 20 carts and check the headlight aim, that 19 carts would have headlights that was aimed too high. Ever notice when a cart is overloaded with four people how the headlights shine straight into you face? We could also talk about the carts that have been raised to 3 inches higher than normal
I don't have cataracts, night blindness, or drive home drunk. Just saying.

Headlights may need adjusting.
Mine did when new 2 months ago. I couldn't see but my wife could. The driver side light was shooting off to the left leaving me "blind".
The tinted window is not great at night either but prefer it over clear.
Much better now that the headlight has been adjusted.
