That's strange. The old "Photo gray" (TM) lenses have always darkened in 
cars.  The newer "Transitions" (TM) do not.  I wear Photogray bifocals 
and they darken in or out of the car. I purchased Transitions (TM) but 
they did not change at all, to I took them back.

But what does this thread have to do with RFI?
