EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS WERE SO POOR THAT I PAID TO UPGRADE THEM TO THE UPDATED HID LIGHTING FOUND ON THE 96 MODEL YEAR. THESE ORIGINAL LENSES WERE UNSAFE, AND ALMOST USELESS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS ON THE 1993-1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII'S ARE INADEQUATE AND ARE DANGEROUS TO USE AT NIGHT, THE LIGHTS ARE SO BAD THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FROM THE CAR BEHIND ME MAKE A BIG BLACK SHADOW THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE THROUGH. I'VE ALMOST HIT DEBRIS IN THE ROAD MANY TIMES THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE IF THESE HEADLIGHTS EVEN MARGINALLY WORKED. LINCOLN ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE IN THE 1996 MODEL YEAR AND UPGRADED ALL THE MARKS TO HID LIGHTS... THESE SYSTEMS ARE READILY AVAILABLE AND SHOULD BE RETROFITTED INTO ALL 93-95 CARS....SAFETY SHOULD NOT BE A OPTION!!!!*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN. BUILT FOR FORD BY SYLVANIA, THEY PUT ALMOST NO LIGHT ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR US USELESS AT NIGHT. FORD CHANGED THE HEADLIGHT DESIGN IN 1996 AND THOSE CARS HAVE GOOD LIGHTING. I HAVE CONTACTED LINCOLN DIVISION AND THEY STATE THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IF THERE IS NO PROBLEM, WHY CAN I NOT SEE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT? I HAVE THREE OTHER VEHICLES THAT COST LESS AND I CAN SEE TO DRIVE THEM AT NIGHT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER MARK VIII OWNERS AND THEY ALL ARE HAVEING THE SAME PROBLEM!*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS ON THE FIRST GENERATION LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR NIGHT VISABILITY. THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AHEAD AND ARE NOT SUFFICAINT TO SEE ROAD OBSTACLES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FIRST GENERATION MARK VIII'S AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE UPDATED IN 1996 WITH AN HID XENON ASSEMBLY AND ALL TOGETHER AGAIN IN 1997 WITH A TOTAL REDESIGN. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY LARGE SAFTEY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII I OWN ARE VERY DIM. TO THE POINT OF ALMOST NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT! I CAME UPON A WRECK ON A STRAIGHT PATCH OF ROAD AND ALMOST DOULDNT STOP BECAUSE OF THE DIM LIGHTS! THE PLASTIC COVER ON THE HEADLIGHTS IS BASICALLY CHEAP PLASTIC AND TURNING YELLOW AND CLOUDY CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BE TRAPPED INSIDE. LINCOLN SOLD THESE CARS FOR ABOUT $38,500. AND NEED TO REPLACE THESE CHEAP HEADLAMPS BEFORE THEY CAUSE ANYMORE ACCIDENTS.THANKS HOWARD BRAY. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE DANGEROUSLY HORRIBLE. THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER, SERIOUSLY! THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED IN 1996 WHEN FORD PUT THE HID SETUP ON THE LSC MARK VIII'S. THE REST OF THE GEN 1 OWNERS ARE LEFT WITH BIRTHDAY CANDLES AS HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE HAD MORE THAN MANY CLOSE CALLS AS A RESULT OF POOR NIGHT VISION WITH THESE SO CALLED LIGHTS. FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT BECOMES ANOTHER FIRESTONE DISASTER FOR THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK
