Does anyone have any suggestions on this? Because whenever I try to take pictures of lights that are lit at night, they come out glary and blurry. Am I using a wrong setting or are they just too bright to do this? If I take pictures of them in my room, they usually turn out fine though.

iPhones take good photos, but tend to overexpose night shots, but you can play with the settings when you have the photo, and adjust it to how you originally saw it by eye.

Yeah I'm using the camera on my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3. I figured it was because of the camera.
