Do they create extra flares into driver's eyes? I've been watching these for a while, worried about the flare it might create when driving toward sun?

Just drive only in shaded areas, this will ensure that it does not reflect the sun to affect other drivers. Not unless your looking where you shouldn't, they do nothing to hinder vision at all. There is no extra flares or glares of reflected light against other drivers. It does not affect you either. These are designed to improve the look of your vehicle, if you get these chrome mirror trims or have already gotten them "STOP WORRING".

Sun glare is rarely a problem for me, but it may depend some on the shape of your face. I used to have to wear a ball cap with sunglasses to avoid sun glare, but not with these. These block out light coming from behind too, which would reflect off the inside of my old suns. And they fit over my Rx glasses. Not as stylish as some other sunglasses, but a lot less eye stain and fatigue, and much improved vision!!

I think they are brighter, I can see a greater distance down the road frequently travel, I know they produce a white light instead of a yellow light as the OEM units did, road stripes and animal eyes show up much better. They are now in both my car and truck with the same increase in performance on both vehicles.

I have after market headlights. The PIAAs throw a wider, brighter, & shoot further down the rd. Overwhelming my headlights. I love them.

Yes. I do not find them quite as good as regular sunglasses, especially those with some form of polaroid lenses, but they do decrease the glare sufficiently to make it possible to drive safely.

Here's a better question to that question: Why would you wanna use the TAILIGHT during the day? What, the sunlight ain't enough? Kinda pointless, really. (Not to mention a total waste of battery power.).... Just saying, if drivers still can't see you during broad daylight, then I wouldn't blame the tailight, even if you used four of them.

Consistently and remarkably well. The only time I have had trouble was on a patch of road that curved in such a way that an approaching truck with his brights on looked like he was headed directly for me. But I have been surprised from the start how much they cut glare--even when people use their brights...as long as they are in the proper lane. I can tell they're using their brights but not because I'm blinded by them.

That is a very good question and actually many people use them for their driver side as it still provides great visibility, they are many reviews already stating that, that is what they use them for. The size of the sun shade is one of the biggest you will find on the market and if you have small front windows it may not work so well, or if you have large windows it will fit nicely.

I have used the Ultra versions of these and they are very bright but like you say they dont work well in rain. I have since used the xtravision ones. Love them. they are a lot brighter then stock and work great in all weather conditions. I have used these in my last 4 cars. Excellent A+++++++++++++++

I have never experienced any lens flare from the filter itself. If the sun is striking the filter, you will probably get flare though.

It's like looking through a colored pair of regular sunglasses Lukas. I can see through them w/normal light, however it will obviously have a tint to it because of the colored lenses. I wouldn't advice wearing them at night time when you're driving though. However they kick-ass during the day. One last thing though, I had to put a piece of foam on the bridge of the glasses/goggles because the design of the whole piece will hurt your nose. Hope this answer helps.

from the factory they have oil on them and with the amount of heat created by the light it will burn the oil. This should only happen first couple times you use it, if it persists then you might have an issue.

i haven't noticed any abnormal flaring. When shooting into the sun there is of course some flaring but nothing I would call excessive. Remember to always use your lens hood and make sure to use the extender ring if you are shooting with a crop sensor. I love this lens.

Hey, I installed these in my car and yes, they do cause a hyper flash (car's way of telling you that one of the bulbs is out). I ordered these 5ohm resistors that are made for these kind of situations, spliced them in and it fixed the problem. These bulbs are really good. Just make sure the ones you get look like the ones in the picture, I once ordered a pair and they were the old style ones in the new packaging. Good luck.

I have them in my rear and back windows. My guess about what the person meant, was that with some "real" window tinting, it can make the car not get as hot if it's sitting in the sun. But that these window clings don't keep your car from getting hot; they would only block the sun. Again, this is my guess. I think it's a weird statement to make about window clings. I'm aware they're not like the real thing, but they do a good job of making my car less bright for my son in his rear-facing car seat. I'm not gonna get my windows tinted permanently for a temporary situation.

I have never had a problem with lens flare, but I have always used the included lens hood too.

I don't know if they are the same or not as I haven't tried the ones advertised. They do what they say they will do. I have had numerous laser surgeries on my eyes and the glare from the lights make it impossible to drive during rain and at night. I have driven at dusk and the glare front the headlights doesn't seem to bother me as bad. Haven't driven when it is dark but I have driven in the rain and can see a lot better.
