1993 Lincoln Mark Viii

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 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

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

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.
