Headlights

[IceMan PJN]

I'm early into the game but I'm frustrated with my headlight situation. At first it was simply because I don't have an option to toggle headlights on even during the day, and I wanted headlights because on the very first stage I had a hard time seeing under trees because it was so dark. A bit later I did a stage at either dusk or dawn (I forget which) and it shown my headlights as being on but it was pitch black, as though the lights were simply cosmetic and not actually illuminating anything. Am I the only one that's had headlights not actually light up anything? I basically had to guess where the road was and rewind if I was wrong.
