EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THESE ARE THE VERY WORST HEADLIGHTS THAT I HAVE EVER TRIED TO DRIVE WITH! THE DESIGN IS POOR. THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT PRODUCED IS LIMITED AND THE PATTERN IS NOT DEFINED. THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT PRODUCED BY THE HIGH BEAMS IS NOT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT FROM MY WIFE'S 99 NISSAN ALTIMA OR MY 89 MUSTANG GT ON LOW BEAMS. IF THE WEATHER IS RAINY THE LIGHT DIFFUSION CAUSED BY THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MAKES DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
EVEN WHEN PROPERLY AIMED AND ADJUSTED, THE HIGHLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE ENTIRELY TOO DIM TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AHEAD PROPERLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT NIGHT, IN FACT, ONE CAN ONLY SAFELY DRIVE IT BELOW APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH FOR THIS REASON. CONSEQUENTLY I AM FORCED TO DRIVE CONTINUOUSLY WITH HIGH-BEAMS WHEN DRIVING DURING THE EVENING. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN SAFELY AT NIGHT! MANY OTHER LINCOLN MARK VIII OWNERS WITH WHOM I'VE SPOKEN HAVE EXACTLY THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *AK

#730971September 11, 2000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS ON MODEL YEARS '93-'96 ARE AN EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN. IN MY OPINION, IT APPEARS REFLECTIVE COATING INSIDE EASLY BURNS OFF THE NEAR THE BULB. "LOW-BEAM" LIGHTING IS VERY POOR AND HAZARDOUS AFTER THIS OCCURS. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT MODULE AT A COST OF OVER $400 TO THE CONSUMER. UNACCEPTABLE. *AK

#730936September 10, 2000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM, HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT (DRIVER HAS 20/20 VISION AND NO NIGHT BLINDNESS). THE SEAL AROUND THE REAR WINDOW IS BREAKING DOWN AND BUBBLING. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON 1998 MODELS OF THIS CAR AS WELL. LOOKING AT CARS MUCH OLDER AND NOT AS WELL MAINTAINED AS MINE, I NOTICE NO SUCH BREAKDOWN. I DO MEAN THE "FORD PINTO" TYPE OF OLD CLUNKER. THEY MAY SAY THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE HEAT IN FLORIDA, BUT DON'T THEY SELL THESE CARS HERE? THIS WILL COST IN EXCESS OF $1,000.00 BECAUSE THE WHOLE WINDOW WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS JUST BAD WORKMANSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
FORD PROVIDED HID LAMPS AS AN OPTION ON 1996 MODEL YEAR AND STANDARD ON 1997 AND 1998. WHY NOT JUST STAY WITH THE STANDARD INCANDESCENT LAMPS IF THEY WERE ADEQUATE? ALL FIRST GENERATION MK8 OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THIS DEFECT.

#730585September 7, 2000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR HAVE BEEN INADEQUATE FROM DAY ONE. VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELY LIMITED, AND LARGE SUMS OF MONEY HAVE BEEN SPENT TO TRY AND REMEDY THE SITUATION TO NO AVAIL. THE SQUAT DESIGN OF THE LAMPS REDUCES THE AVAILABLE SIZE OF THE REFLECTOR. THEN, THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE BULB TO THE REFLECTOR CAUSES THE REFLECTIVE COATING TO COOK AND BURN OFF. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT, AND AVOID DOING SO ANYMORE. LINCOLN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE IT.
