More indications this morning that your vehicles headlights could be doing a much better job.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says headlight ratings for a group of 21 small SUVs shows not a single one gets a good rating.

The two main problems included the headlights didn’t shine far enough down the road or they blinded oncoming drivers.

Four models, the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson and Mazda CX-3, earned the second highest rating of acceptable.

All of the other SUVs tested scored marginal or poor.
