I OWN A 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE DIM LIGHT OUTPUT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS FLAWED WHICH CAUSES THE PLASTIC TO BURN AND THE REFLECTORS TO BE DAMAGED. FORD SHOULD REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY OR UPGRADE THE MARK VIII'S WITH THE BAD DESIGN TO HID LIGHTS. *NM

LINCOLN IS AWARE THAT THE EARLY MARK VIII"S HAD A PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS AND CHANGED TO "HID" LIGHTING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WANT LINCOLN TO RECALL THE EARLY CARS TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.I WAS NOT THE OWNER WHEN THE CAR CRASHED I HAVE BEEN COPING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THOUGH, AND I KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE RIGHT! THANK YOU. LOREN PETERSON. *AK

THE HEAD LAMPS OF THIS CAR ARE SMALL WITH MAKES IT HARD ENOUGH TO SEE BUT THEY EASILY TURN A YELLOW COLOR THAT CAN'T BE CLEANED. IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MOST OF THE TIME I USE MY HIGH BEAMS. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT AT LEAST TWICE, AT NIGHT, ONCE SOMEONE PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT THE OTHER TIME THEY WERE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO THE STREET I WAS ON, AND DIDN'T SEE MY CAR. THE 1996 MARK VIII CAME WITH VERY GOOD HID HEAD LAMPS, I BELEIVE ALL OF THESE CARS NEED TO HAVE THEM.

I HAVE RECENTLY HIT A DEER RAN OVER A RACOON AND NEARLY HIT ABOUT 3 MAIL BOXES. THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE LIKE CANDLESTICKS. WHEN THE ROAD IS DAMP YOU MIGHT AS WELL TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF. THE REVERSE LIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE BRIGHTER THAN THE HEADLIGHTS. NO JOKING. THIS CAR NEEDS THE REPLACEMENT HID CONVERSION THAT WAS OFFERED IN THE SAME BODYSTYLE IN 1996. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS EVEN THOUGH IT PROBABLY WONT HELP. 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII. SCOTT BYRAM 815-498-3682. *AK

HEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE. YOU CANT SEE ANYTHING OUT OF THEM. THE 96 AND UP MARKS HAVE HIDS.*AK
