1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII. HEADLIGHTS ARE FAULTY AND UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING, AS THEY LOSE THEIR REFLECTIVE ABILITY AFTER A FEW YEARS. FORD WANTS $500.00 FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS ONLY. *JB

MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII HEAD LAMPS ARE CLOUDING, AND I HAVE A HORRIBLE TIME WITH NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY DUE TO BARLEY ANY LIGHT COMING OUT OF MY HEADLAMPS. I WENT TO THE NEAREST LINCOLN DEALER AND THEY SAID TO BUY MCGUIGERS PLASTIC POLISH AND IT SHOULD TAKE THE CLOUDINESS OUT, BUT IT DIDN'T. SOMETIMES EVEN IN NORMAL CONDITIONS I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON TO BE ABLE TO SEE. *JB

THE HEADLIGHT ARE VERY BAD. ESPECIALLY DURING THE RAIN OR AT NIGHT. I THINK THAT ALL THE LINCOLN MARK VIII'S FROM 93 TO 95 SHOULD GET THE HID HEADLIGHTS THAT THE 96 HAS.*JB

POOR NIGHT VISIBILITY DUE TO SEVER DEGRADATION OF OEM HEADLAMP SYSTEM AND THAT THIS MAKES NIGHT DRIVING DANGEROUS IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE WITH OUT SOME SORT OF AFTERMARKET LIGHTING SYSTEM OR OEM REPLACEMENTS WHICH WILL SOON FAIL AND CAUSE THE ISSUE ALL OVER AGAIN. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
1)WALKED INTO GARAGE IN EVENING AND FOUND WHITE, ACRID SMOKE. UPON PULLING CAR OUT OF GARAGE, HEARD WHOOSHING SOUND. 2 )UPON REMOVING THE RT FRONT FENDER WELL, FOUND THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED AND HAD MELTED THE RT FRONT AIR LINE TO SUSPENSION ROUTED ABOVE IT. LUCKY IT DIDN'T SET FIRE TO MY GARAGE. 3) I WILL NEED NEW AIR LINE (ORDERED FOR $15.00), WILL NEED SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH AND CONNECTOR/ WIRING REPLACED, COST UNKNOWN-IF I CAN EVEN FIND THE PARTS. OF NOTE, THIS SWITCH HAS A PREVIOUS HISTORY OF FAILURE AND FIRES, BUT FORD HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MAKE OR MODEL YEAR. SWITCH WAS LOCATED UNDER HOOD AND FORD RELOCATED IT TO RT FRONT FENDER WELL. THIS MAY HAVE CUT DOWN ON FIRES AS INTENSE, BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THEIR FAILURE TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS CONCERNS ME. *JB
