ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VOLTAGE GOING INTO THE BULBS THEMSELVES AND IS POTENTIONALLY VERY DANGEROUS. IFEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND SHOULD BE A RECALL SEEING AS THERE ARE SO MANY REPETETIVE COMPLAINTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEADLAMPS ON MY CAR. THE LOW BEAMS ON BOTH HEADLAMS DON'T PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE CLEARLY AT NIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED LINCLON AND THEY DONT SEEM TO CARE! ALL OF THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL ON THE REAR OF THE LIGHT IS DISCOLORED OR MISSING, THUS NOT ALLOWING MUCH LIGHT TO BE TRANSMITTED TO THE ROAD. I HAVE INSTALLED BRIGHTER BULBS BUT THIS HELPS ONLY SLIGHTLY. I HAVE CONTACTED OTHER OWNERS OF THE MARK VIII AND ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS ALL 93-95' HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, LINCLON CHANGED THE DESIGN 1/2 WAY THROUGH THE 96 MODEL YEAR! LOOKS TO ME THAT THEY NEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM IF THEY MADE A CHANGE IN THE DESIGN!*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
MY HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY WEAK. WHEN IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE I CANNOT SEE THE RAOD AT ALL, SOMETIMES EVEN WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER. I FEEL THE LIGHTS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A MORE POWERFUL SYSTEM.*AK

HEADLIGHT FAILURE AND INADEQUATE HEADLIGHTS - FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 2 YEARS MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED. THIS TIME I RAN OFF THE ROAD. HEADLAMP SWITCH WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO BY DEALER AS A RECALL (1ST TIME MY HEADLIGHTS FAILED WHILE DRIVING). DEALER REFUSED TO FIX RECALLED ITEM AGAIN AND SAID THE COMBINATION/DIMMER SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM. I TOOK VEHICLE TO AUTO ELECTRIC SPECIALIST WHO FOUND MELTED HEADLAMP SWITCH CONNECTOR. REPLACED SWITCH AND CONNECTOR. HEADLAMPS ARE DIM AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ELECTRIC SPECIALIST SAID REASON WAS BREAKDOWN OF REFLECTIVE COATING ON HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. I SEARCHED THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS DATABASE AND FOUND 92 OF THE 109 COMPLAINTS FOR MY VEHICLE DEALT WITH INADEQUATE HEADLIGHTS (UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT). HOW MANY COMPLAINTS/DEATHS ARE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM? PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *AK
