How bad is the glare/Halos with mulitfocal iols

This question is to any one who has had a multifocal iol implanted.  Can you
read reflective street signs during night driving?  I am just trying to gage how bad
the halos and glare are.  I am concerned because most doctors would quote
the FDA clinical study to prove patient satisfaction but the age of the average
FDA study patient was about 76 or so.  This combined with the fact that many
of the study particapants might have been of limited means so they had no
where to go at night at their age?

I am a 62 year old male and I have two of the latest Restor IOL's,this year.  I do not have any problems driving at night.  Reflective street signs look normal and only get halos from pin point light sources far away....like distant head lights.  I do get glare during the day from bright sun light, but I had that before cataract surgery too.
