Is it time for me to get re checked as I may need glasses or are headlights now a days just that much brighter and annoying.
Likely a bit of Astigmatism. You can have small amounts that do not bother you when you are younger, but that can be an issue as you get into your 30's and 40's.

Cataracts also cause the same thing, but that would be pretty rare. Get an eye exam and most likely you will end up with a small prescription for night driving.
