EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY LINCOLN MARK VIII HEADLIGHTS FROM 1993-1996. THE HEADLIGHTS AFTER A COUPLE YEARS BEGIN TO DEGRADE. THE REFLECTIVE COATING INSIDE THE PARABOLA TURNS CHALKY AND THEREFORE DOES NOT REFLECT LIGHT THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED. THIS MAKES FOR VERY POOR LIGHTING AT NIGHT WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. LINCOLN NEW ABOUT THIS AND SWITCHED TO HID (HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE) UNITS IN 1996, BUT ONLY ON THE LSC MODELS. FORD/LINCOLN SELLS THESE UNITS BUT AT A VERY VERY HIGH PRICE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND HID'S INSTALLED IN THE CARS WITH THE DEFECTIVE HEADLAMPS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I HAVE A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH MY LINCOLN MARK VIII. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BECOMING SEVERELY YELLOWED AND I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT THE BRIGHTS ON. IT HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAUSED ME TO CEASE TRAVELING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE STRAIN IT PUTS ON MY VISION. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS, THANKFULLY WITHOUT INJURY OR DAMAGE WHERE THE DULL HEADLAMPS ARE TO BLAME. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS BY PURCHASING EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT BULBS AND EVEN INSTALLING AFTERMARKET LAMPS BUT THE LENS IS TO BLAME, NOT THE BULB OR LAMP. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MATTER FOR FORD TO FIX. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE. *NM

THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHT LENSES ON THE 1996 LINCOLN MARK VIII PROVIDES POOR NIGHT VISIBILITY DUE TO SEVER DEGRADATION OF OEM HEADLAMP SYSTEM. THE REFLECTIVE LENS ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSING HAS MELTED AWAY TO THE POINT 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. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE VERY POOR VISIBILITY, WHETHER THE LIGHTS ARE ON BRIGHT OR DIM. THE LENS COVER ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS ARE YELLOWED AND SCRATCHED. THE DEALER STATED THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE.

THE 1996 LINCOLN MARK VIII WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2005 AND THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN DETERIORATING CONSTANTLY SINCE PURCHASE. I NOW HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAM AT ALL TIMES AFTER DARK. OTHER CARS DO NOT EVEN FLASH THERE LIGHTS AT ME BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO WEAK. ALL OF THE CHROME HAS FALLEN OFF OF THE SURFACES IN THE HEADLIGHTS SO NO LIGHT IS REFLECTED OUT OF THE LIGHTS! *NM

THE HEADLIGHT COVERS (HOUSINGS?) FOR LINCOLN MARK VIII'S 93-98, CLOUD OVER (TURN GRAY INSIDE AND OUT) QUICKLY. THIS DEFECTIVE CLOUDING IN THE LIGHT COVERS RESULTS IN NIGHT DRIVING TO BE VERY HAZARDOUS, ALONG WITH RAIN AND FOG. THE KITS TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS AVERAGE AROUND 1,000. LINCOLN KNOWS OF THE VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN THE COVERS CLOUD OVER AND HAS NOT TAKEN CORRECTIVE ACTION. *NM

I HAVE A 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII. THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO DIM, AT NIGHT I AM UNABLE TO HAVE A FULL VISUAL OF WHAT MOST CAR-OWNERS ARE ABLE TO SEE. THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAR, (WITH BRAND NEW BULBS). I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE AROUND THE SAME YEAR AS ME WITH THE SAME MODEL (2 1994'S AND 1 1995) AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO LOOKED INTO IT THROUGH VAST AMOUNTS OF MARK VIII FORUMS AND THE RESULT IS THE SAME. THIS IS A HAZARD TO EVERYONE'S SAFETY IN AND AROUND THESE VEHICLES, AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE RECTIFIED BY THE LINCOLN MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A DEFFERENT RECALL MATTER. THAN YOU NICOLAS L. *JB

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII HEADLIGHTS ARE INHERENTLY DEFECTIVE. DETERIORATING TO THE POINT OF USELESSNESS. EVEN WHEN REPLACED WITH NEW FACTORY REPLACEMENTS THIS DETERIORATION PROCESS HAPPENS AGAIN. I FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE MINE WITH 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII LSC HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE HID HEADLIGHTS THESE ARE OF DIFFERENT DESIGN AND ARE SUPERIOR TO THE STANDARD HEADLIGHT DESIGN. THESE HID HEADLIGHTS COST OVER 1200.00 DOLLARS TO PURCHASE. *JB

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
