After having them a few weeks, my eyes have settled in pretty well. The glaring of lights at night is MUCH less now. It doesn't bother me at all, and I can see well driving. Think it was just a matter of getting used to them, as some of you mentioned. I still have a couple small issues with the lenses (slight clouding, bad vision when I take them out), but all in all, I am very happy with the vision I am getting as compared to before.

I appreciate all the help and advice I have gotten here :D

It could start to get better, maybe not. In my own experience, it didnt really get better, I just got used to it. I only drive at night when I feel that I am not taking a risk with my eyes. It's worth mentioning to remember that the flaring etc isn't only down to the contact lenses but also the cornea itself.
