Default Night Riding Glasses: Yellow or Clear

I wanted to get some opinions on what everyone prefers for night riding.&nbsp\\; I have the day/night panoptix but for me they have a lot of glare at night.

I have read that the clear lenses should be better for night use, but after trying both, I seem to prefer the yellow over the clear. Right now though I am using clear, and have gotten quite attached to them.
