The sodium lamps never really caught on where I live, but we had the pleasure of them along a few select stretches of motorway, though by now they are long gone. I liked them. Pleasant for night driving, easy on the eyes, and not blending in with everything else. I image I would like them even more today. Eyesight fine, but dammit, with age you start loosing contrast after sunset. Driving the city at night, especially in rainy weather, gets really tiring after a while. And the headlights on newer cars seem to be in fierce competition of unpleasant blue harshness.
