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.

POOR NIGHT VISIBILITY DUE TO SEVER DEGRADATION OF OEM HEADLAMP SYSTEM MAKING 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

HEADLIGHTS ON 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE INEFFECTIVE WHEN USED FOR NIGHT DRIVING. INABILITY TO SEE HAS RESULTED IN NUMEROUS "CLOSE CALLS" AND HAS MADE THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
FUEL TANK HOSE IS DESIGNED TO RUN AGAINST THE DRIVE SHAFT TO AVOID BEING PINCHED BY SUSPENSION. BUT OVER TIME THE CONSTANT RUNNING OF THE DRIVE SHAFT AGAINST THE HOSE WILL DETERIORATE IT CAUSING THE FUEL HOSE TO LEAK AND POSSIBLE FIR CAN RESULT! LINCOLN DESIGNED THE PLASTIC HOLDER TO HOLD HOSE AGAINST DRIVE SHAFT. THE PORTION OF MY DRIVE SHAFT THAT HAS BEEN RUBBING AGAINST THE FUEL HOSE HAS BEEN HIGHLY POLISHED TO A CHROME FINISH. FUEL HOSE IS LEAKING AT A GOOD RATE WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. *JB

THE HEADLAMPS ARE VERY DIM DUE TO THE REFLECTIVE COATING COMING OFF OF THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLAMPS. IT A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION YOU HAVE TO USE THE HI BEAMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE. ON THE DIM SETTING IT IS SIMILAR TO TRYING TO SEE WITH A CANDLE AS A LIGHT. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY USELESS. THEY ARE YELLOW AND DINGY BECAUSE OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THEIR MANUFACTURE. IT POSES A MAJOR THREAT TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THERE IS NO WAY TO PERMANENTLY FIX THEM, OTHER THAN TO MAKE NEW HEADLIGHTS THAT DON'T GLAZE OVER. *NM

THE REFLECTIVE COATING INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING BURNS OFF PREMATURELY RESULTING IN GREATLY REDUCED ILLUMINATION. I HAD TO BUY NEW HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS AT $235 EACH TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. *NM

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE VERY DANGEROUS. THE LOW BEAMS ARE SO DIM THAT I AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS SET ON HIGH-BEAMS. THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS TO BLAME. IT IS BURNED OFF AND DULL. I'M NOT THE ONLY FIRST GENERATION MARK VIII OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO AFFECT ALL MODELS FROM 93 TO 96. *NM

HEADLAMP DESIGN FAILED FROM OUTSET. LITTLE DIFFERENCE AT NIGHT WITH HEADLAMPS ON OR OFF. THIS IS BEYOND DANGEROUS. "IMPROVED" BULBS AND POLISHING OF LENSES COULD NOT COMPENSATE FOR THE POOR FACTORY DESIGN. *JB
