|
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported Tuesday that only two of the U.S. auto industry's 37 mid-size sport-utility vehicles offer headlight packages with "good" performance. Safety advocates warn that poor headlight performance, including incorrectly aimed beams and excessive glare, endangers motorists and pedestrians. IIHS, which has been gradually testing the hundreds of models sold in the U.S., concluded that 11 models offer "poor" headlights, 12 fall in the "marginal" category and 12 are "acceptable." The organization ranked 2017 models based on the best-available headlight package on each vehicle.
