Hmmm - a customer review on the big south american river website isn't very complimentary.

"..unfortunately they didn't work for me....they just changed blurry white light into blurry yellow light.."

Yes, I read that too before buying but the vast bulk of reviews were positive so gave it a try and I report as I find -- like I said, it's cheaper than the OP changing the car!

(It sounds like the grumpy reviewer may have eyesight issues if the headlights are blurry; possibly cataracts but we'll probably never know.)

I've got a pair of Nighthawk night driving glasses, had them for years bought 'em in Belgium - similar sort of thing , yellow lenses so they filter out the blue spectrum. I find they are good on days when the light is bad, cloudy, near dusk etc, but I've tried wearing them at night and they don't inspire confidence to me. What is better is uprated headlamps, HIDS or leds.

Bear in mind if we go out at night it's on pitch black french country roads, no street lights anywhere. And you ain't seen nothing as black as the french countryside on a moonless night!

Yes Barney, it will make a difference, and another bonus is that because the back window and all of your mirrors are that bit higher, you don't get quite so much issue with rear blinding from tailgaters...plus with the bigger vehicle you tend to take less notice of the shall we say more aggressive types, mainly because you can't see their bonnet line.

Whether an XC60 is high enough i don't know, it can't be much different to the sitting height in my Toyota, i really do not like night driving in a car any more.

It isn't just the height you are sitting at either, if you have sensible size and type tyres and wheels that can cope with the typical debris and road damage found at the side of country roads especially, then that is another thing less to worry about when vehicles coming the other way haven't a clue where they are on the road.
