1. A vehicle glare reduction system, comprising:
- a light source;
a first polarized filter adapted to polarize light emanating from said light source in a first orientation, wherein said first orientation is substantially horizontal or vertical; and
a second polarized filter situated in front of a driver viewing area and adapted to perform polarize filtering of incoming light in a second orientation substantially orthogonal to said first orientation.

Abstract
A selective light transmitting and receiving system for the reduction of glare and unwanted light. The selective light system includes a light source, a first polarized filter adapted to polarize light emanating from the light source in a first polarization orientation, a second polarized filter adapted to perform polarized filtering of received light in a second polarization orientation, and a light receiving device adapted to receive the filtered light. The selective light system may be incorporated into a vehicle system, a roadway system, a camera or video system, a microscope system, a night vision device, a hard hat lighting system, and a stage lighting system.
