Question by Arggg: What kind of tinted sunglasses are best for driving at night?
Is there a color that’s good for driving at night that will reduce glare and improve your vision? I’m thinking amber, but I’m not too sure.

Amber would be best however you may just need clear polarized lenses. That will cut glare without dimming the illumination. Consider that first and speak to an optometrist or ophthalmologist first.
You may also check with your local driver testing sites and see if there may be any restrictions about sunglasses while driving at night. You just never know!

Richard is wrong on both counts.
First , clear polarized lenses don’t exist. A polarized lens must have color.
Second, amber is for daytime driving. It is ideal in snow or fog. Amber is too dark for use at night.
For night driving the only acceptable color is canary yellow, with an anti reflection coating. That really improves night vision and eliminates glare from oncoming cars and street lights.
