EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT LENSES DISCOLORED DUE TO HEAT GENERATED FROM LAMPS. DUE TO DISCOLORATION OF THE LENSES THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS LOWER THAN OPTIMAL MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT ON UNLIGHTED ROADWAYS. THE DEALERS ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO REPLACE THE LENSES AT MY EXPENSE. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS A DEFECT IN MATERIAL USED TO MAKE THE LENSES. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
MY LINCOLN MARK VIII'S HEADLIGHT COVERS ARE SO CRAZED/FOGGY THAT I HAVE TO OPERATE THE HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH AT ALL TIMES JUST TO DRIVE. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO LINCOLN AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL/PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO CORRECT. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT I HAVE OBSERVED ON AT LEAST 6 OTHER MK VIII VEHICLES. I HOPE YOU CAN HAVE MORE LUCK AS LINCOLN WANTS IN EXCESS OF $200 A UNIT FOR THE LENSES. I FEEL THAT THE WRONG TYPE OF LEXAN/PLASTIC WAS USED FOR THIS ASSEMBLY WITH INSUFFICIENT UV PROTECTION.

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

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

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.
