ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII. ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 2006, WHILE I WAS ASLEEP IN MY HOME, MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE IGNITION WAS OFF. THE LAST IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN WAS THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. IT WAS PARKED AROUND 6:00 P.M. ON THE 11TH OF AUGUST. I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN IT WAS ON FIRE IF THE NEIGHBOR HAD NOT SEEN THE FIRE AND BEAT ON MY DOOR TO WAKE ME UP. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE BASICALLY SHOT. THE LIGHTS THEMSELVES WORK FINE HOWEVER THE ACTUAL HEADLIGHT HOUSING ITSELF IS NOT. THE PLASTIC LENSE HAS YELLOWED PRETTY BAD AND THE RELFLECTIVE SURFACE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT IS RUINED. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO SEE OVER 15 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT NIGHT AND UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT OR THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE OR EVEN NEW HEADLIGHTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII HAVE BEGUN TO DIM SEVERELY. I REPLACED THE BULBS, THINKING THEY MAY BE THE PROBLEM, BUT IN DOING SO , I NOTICED THAT THE REFLECTIVE SURFACE INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT WAS VERY CLOUDY. THIS WOULD BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY 95 LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE THE WORST ENGINEERED HEADLIGHTS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN ON A LUXURY VEHICLE. THEY ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AHEAD. I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS TO SEE DOWN THE ROAD AND THAT IS NOT RIGHT FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
STOCK AND STANDARD AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS ON GENERATION ONE LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE WASHINGTON STATE. I HAVE RUN OFF THE ROAD MANY OCCASIONS. HEADLIGHTS DO NOT GIVE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IN RAIN/BAD WEATHER. PERSONALLY I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS DO TO THE LACK OF LIGHT AND OR HAD TO USE BRIGHTS. IF IT EVER DOES HAPPEN I WILL DEFIANTLY GO AFTER FORD MOTOR COMPANY. YOU PLAIN AND SIMPLY CAN'T SEE THE ROAD, ANYTHING ON THE ROAD, STREET SIGNS, LANE MARKERS, FOG LINES, NOTHING. YOU ARE ESPECIALLY BLIND WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS THERE WHEN ITS DARK OR RAINING. I LITERALLY HAVE TO MEMORIZE WHERE I AM GOING SO I CAN TRY TO GET THERE SAFELY AS SUCH I CAN'T SEE A DARN THING. I HAVE TRIED NEW HEADLAMP HOUSINGS, NEW LIGHT BULBS, EVEN $25 A PIECE AND NOT ANY IMPROVEMENT ADJUSTING FROM FORD DEALERSHIPS AND ON MY OWN. THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE TO MOUNT FOG LIGHTS EITHER. FORD HAS HID LIGHTS FOR LCS MARK VIII'S THAT WOULD WORK BUT AVG. JOE CAN'T AFFORD THE $$$ TO DO THE CONVERSION. I COME FROM A FAMILY OF COPS AND KNOW THE LAW WELL, FORD IS LIABLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. *NM
