They have different varieties, some do work in the car

But then they would probably work in a well lit office too.

No, they don't change inside (I've had them). They do have a slight tint all the time though, which isn't a big deal.

Was it long ago? Mine have no tint

The human brain is very good at smoothing over brightness differences, even an oppressively well lit office is still typically an order of magnitude dimmer than the sun.
