Sun is too bright, cant see signal lights.?

Today I stopped at a protected left turn signal, but the sun was right above it. It was impossible to see whether the signal was green or red, the sun was way too bright. I basically sat there not knowing what to do. Eventually i waited until there was no cars near me and finally made the turn. Im pretty sure I ended up running a protected red light.

What would you guys have done?

If sunglasses or blocking the sun with my hand doesn't work, I would probably do what you did.

I'd block the sun from my eyes with my hand so I could see the light. If that didn't work, I'd watch traffic until others behaved as if I had a green light. If that didn't work, I'd go to another intersection either reroute or double back. There is a goverment agency responsible for maintaining traffic lights. You should be able to find them with a few phone calls. If you use that light often, consider reporting it.
