DIM LIGHTS ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO USE AT NIGHT. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT FINALLY DISCOLORED AND PEELED ENOUGH INSIDE THAT I HAD TO REPLACE IT. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT DID NOT HELP THE ILLUMINATION PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THE DIM LIGHTS!! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR THE PAST YEAR WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND NOBODY HAS FLASHED ME TO DIM THEM YET. THIS SHOWS HOW BRIGHT THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE MARK SERIES.*AK

POOR LIGHTING FROM LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS. VIRTUALLY NO VISIBILITY DRIVING AT NIGHT.DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AT NIGHT ROAD VISIBILITY IS 0. THOUGH I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS AT NIGHT, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND I'M INFORMED THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW ON THE PART OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY.BUT FORD WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS ANY PROBLEM.AND THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS.SHOULD YOU WISH ANY FURTHER INFORMATION INTO THE INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST.

I AM A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OF A SAFTEY CONCERN,CAUSE OF THE LOW VISIBILITY COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROADWAY,PLUS AFTER A WHILE THE LIGHTS LENS BECOME DULL AND THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL BEGINS TO FADE ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSING . *AK

FACTORY LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND UNSAFE FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE LIGHT HOUSING HAS BECOME FADED AND YELLOWING OF THE LENSE HAS OCCURRED. ALSO PEELING OF THE REFLECTIVE FILM. I KNOW OF ALLOT OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS ONE OF MANY FACTORS: HEAT/ PLASTIC/ UTRAVIOLET EXPOSURE, AND BAD DESIGN. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS ON SUBJECT VEHICLE ARE A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE TOTAL INADEQUATE CAPABILITY TO ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. LIGHTS ARE DIM AND PROVIDE BARELY ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS EVEN WORSE DURING RAIN AT NIGHT AS THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY CANNOT BE DISCERNED. THIS SITUATION IS NOT DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S AGE, THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPT. 1995. NLM

CONSUMER STATES THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATING PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. NLM. CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS ALIGNED, WAS INFORMED THAT THE ADJUSTMENT WAS OK, AND ONLY THE HEAD LAMP ASSEMBLY COULD BE REPLACED.*JB

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE EARLY LINCOLN MARK 8S ARE TERRIBLE, THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSING DISCOLORS, CLOUDING THE LENS FROM THE INSIDE AND TURNING THE REFLECTIVE PORTION ORANGE, BROWN, OR BLACK. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, FORD/LINCOLN SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY MIGHT BE AT FAULT. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE LUCKY IF THEY ARE SHINING AT 30% OF THEIR DESIGNED ILLUMINATION. ALMOST EVERYONE WITHA 1993 THROUGH 1996 MODEL HAS SOME AMOUNT OF THIS FAILURE IN THEIR CAR. CHECK THE LINCOLNS OF DISTINCTION WEBSITE, LOGIN AND ASK FOR A RESPONSE. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONE ITEM. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONCERN, THOMAS MOTE. *AK

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND, THEREFORE, CAN RESULT IN DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AT NIGHT, AS WELL AS IN LOW VISIBILITY SITUATIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD MOTOR COMPANY OFFER US A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR WHO ALL ECHO MY SENTIMENTS. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME (US).PLEASE NOTE THAT I DID NOT PURCHASE MY CAR AT THE DEALER NOTED ON THIS FORM. THIS DEALERSHIP IS, HOWEVER, PERFORMING NECESSARY MAINTENANCE TO MY LINCOLN.*AK
