I think the clue is the word supposed! If you don't wear any glasses hasn't evolution given you eyes that cope with going from light to shade to prevent being dinner for a different animal!
Photochromic lenses do vary in darkness but generally darken very quickly but are slow to lighten as there's energy in the light making them darken wheras lightening is a passive process. They also don't darken as well behind a windscreen and don't darken as much when it's hot as when it's cold.Here’s the blurb from Bolle to help , use similar on my Oakley Ski goggles but would look daft driving around wearing them
Would buy from Bolle direct though as they are £115 , not £12 ……
+ WHAT IS PHANTOM?
Phantom is Bollé’s first photochromic lens with phenomenal optical clarity. It adapts to any light condition, ensuring precise visual acuity whatever the weather. The lens tint changes with the light from cat.1 to cat.3.
I wouldn't worry about it as when I wear my prescription sunglasses , darkest possible at LT3, even daytime i cannot see the dials at all on the dash let alone read them.the sat nav is ok for general direction but when it becomes technical & exiting lanes which are multiple I have to either lift the sunglasses or peer over the top
I fitted a heads up speedo can adjust the brightness to see it when really sunny even with sunglasses on .I wouldn't worry about it as when I wear my prescription sunglasses , darkest possible at LT3, even daytime i cannot see the dials at all on the dash let alone read them.the sat nav is ok for general direction but when it becomes technical & exiting lanes which are multiple I have to either lift the sunglasses or peer over the top
This one , easy to fit , remove fuse box cover below steering wheel , plug into OBD port route cable up via right hand side of dash . Comes with all the instructions and a short video on the link.May I please enquire which one?

Turn around and go the other way
I'd want one that doesn't use the obd as it is locked off.
can they be used either side or are they handed?
I believe you can get one for each side. Driver and passenger sides
Drive st night lol
Never heard of it.
Pretty sure the display flips on the unit so it can be used on RHD or LHD vehicles. More so as it can display KPH as well as MPH
. It is OBD operated but only a couple of pins connected so could potentially be wired in before OBD but messing about with CanBus etc is risky unless you know what you are doing .
Toyota used it and it beat the Tesla in day and night vision tests. From memory they had a child dummy on a skate board they pulled from in front of a parked car , the Toyota spotted the child and the car stopped Tesla uses a different technology using cameras and the child dummy was run over.
Wouldn't that fail the mot as being within the wiper arc & within the drivers line of sight? It certainly would fail here.
This is where I love the electric front blind on the euramobil... I just lower it till it blocks out the sun.
Does it not have an automatic stop on it which limits the drop. As soon as the ignition is turned on ours goes up to leave approx 14” of sun blind which is too high for me.
