1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII Complaints

HEADLIGHTS ON 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE VERY DIM AND YELLOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.WILL LEAD TO A ACCIDENT. *AK

HEADLIGHTS INSTALLED ON THE ''EARLY'' MARK VIIIS ARE A COMMON KNOWLEDGE PROBLEM THAT PLAGUES US ALL. MOST OF OUR [L.C.O.C.] LONCOLN CONTINENTAL OWNERS CLUB MEMBERS STORE THEIR ''VIIIS'' IN THE WINTER AS THE LIGHTS ARE UNSAFE EVEN IN GOOD WEATHER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT . ROBERT GAVRILESCU. *AK

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE PROVIDE VERY POOR LIGHTING. WHEN I DRIVE DURING THE NIGHT IT IS MUCH DARKER IN FRONT OF THE CAR THAN IN OTHER CARS I HAVE DRIVEN BEFORE. THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE WITH GOOD VISIBILITY IS TO USE THE HIGH LAMPS, BUT THEY ARE TOO BRIGHT FOR OTHER DRIVERS. *AK

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. IT IS HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ON UNLIGHTED ROADWAYS.*AK

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 HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM FOR THE CAR. I'VE REPLACED BULBS AND EVEN PUT IN 100 WATT BULBS. I'VE EVEN HAD THE LENSES RESURFACED...POOR DESIGN OF THE THE HEADLIGHTS CAUSES ME HAVING A HARD TIME SEEING THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND IN THE RAIN. COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THE HEADLIGHT ON THE VEHICLE ARE EXTREMELY POOR, HOWEVER I DID NOT RELIZE HOW POOR THEY WHERE UNTIL I ALMOST HIT SOME KIDS WALKING DOWN THE ROAD. KNOW MY EYE SIGHT IS PERFECT BUT WHEN I CAN NOT TELL IF MY LIGHTS ARE ON AT NIGHT IT DOSN'T MATTER HOW WELL I CAN SEE.*AK

HEADLIGHTS DISPLAY INSUGNIFICANT LIGHTING WHICH LEADS TO HAZARDOUS NIGHT TIME DRIVING.*AK

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. THE LIGHT EMISSION FROM THEM IS WAY BELOW NORMAL. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE STARTING TO TURN YELLOW. I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS WITH DEER BECAUSE OF MY LACK OF VISION AT NIGHT AND IT REALLY SCARES ME TO DRIVE IN DARKER AREAS BECAUSE I KNOW HOW INSUFFICENT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE. I HAVE TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH FROM DETROIT TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO MANY TIMES AND DRIVING AT NIGHT REQUIRES EXTRA SPECAIL ATTENSION BECAUSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS YOUR LIMITED VISION IS NOT ENOUGH TO TRAVEL SAFELY. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY OTHER CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND I HAVE HAD MUCH CHEAPER AND INFERIOR CARS WITH HEADLIGHTS THAT MAKE MY CARS LOOK LIKE A CANDLE FLAME. DUE TO THE INFERIOR DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, PUTTING HIGHER WATTAGE BULBS INTO THEM WILL ONLY MELT THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY. THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST POORLY DESIGNED HEADLIGHT SYSTEM I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.*AK

HEADLIGHTS ARE INADAQUATE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. THE MANUFACTOR INDEED IMPROVED THEM FOR THE 1996 MODEL YEAR WHICH INDICATES THEY WERE/ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT STOPPED SHORT OF RECALLING 1993-1995 WITH THE DEFECT. T NIGHT VISION IS SO BAD I CANNOT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT AND HAVE HEARD OF MANY STORIES OF BAD LIGHTING FROM OTER OWNERS. *AK
