Ughh...I am not having much luck taking pictures at night the lights always come out fuzzy even if I turn the flash off.The day... sunrise... and sunset pictures come out pretty clear.I am thinking I need to set the exposure differently or something...Got any ideas?

Perhaps your camera has a night setting on it? You could try that.

I might be because of low light and if it a DSLR she'll need to move the ISO up a little to increase camera speed.

@sherryeb yes it is often the glare that ruins night shots for me

I don't know what camera you are using but a bit of googling should find you ideas on how to do better at night time.

Even my phone the light blur...I probably should save my money and buy a camera with filter lenses.

If the area is well lighted it will be easy to take a photo . 
But i seldom take pictures outside at night . I don't know too , how to do it with my smartphone .

There are a few things that you can do to fix the issue:
1. Use a tripod to stabilize the camera and eliminate shaking from hand-held shots.
2. Increase your ISO settings, which will make the camera's sensor more sensitive to light. Since the camera is more sensitive to light, your shutter speeds will be shorter, which might allow you to hold your camera without blurring the lights.
3. Increase the size of your camera's aperture opening (f-stop) to allow more light to reach the image sensor. This will affect depth of field in your shots, though, so if you want everything in the scene to be in focus options 1 & 2 would be better.
