Default Carting at night...improving vision.

On coming carts have always given me problems at night with their misaligned and bright headlights. When I lived in Europe, I used the yellow driving glasses at night and they were very helpful at reducing glare. I recently found a pair of amber clip-ons at Pilot and bought them. Used them last night and was very happy. They flip up and flip down so I was able to do instant comparisons. The glare was reduced considerably and clarity also improved. Not expensive and maybe worth a try if y'all have the same issues.

Some of them with those super bright lights are so misaligned I don't see how their vision of the cart paths are that great because they seem to be all over the road, unless they're 3 sheets to the wind.

Marion Market sell the night clip on glasses. Used them for years. Work a treat.
Very good defence against the cart lights lighting up everything bar the trail.

Golf carts don't have adjusting head lights, nor do the golf cart lights shine down. The only way is to block off top half of the lights to block the shining up to the moon. Then, you got the ones that add the off road light bars which I think (depends on the state your in I guess?) is against the law for public roads (probably cause the BLIND on coming traffic). If I was that blind that I have to turn night into day and blind oncoming traffic on the path and the road I would just stay home. but, that me.

I have LED headlights on my Yamaha. They are adjustable up and down with a metric Allen wrench.
Easily adjusted at night with the cart facing the garage door, just like we did back in the day with our jacked up muscle cars.
