1994 Lincoln Mark Viii

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION SINCE PURCHASING MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS MODEL FOR THE YEARS 1993 TO 1995 ARE OF POOR DESIGN AND ARE AN EXTREME HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE LOW BEAM REFLECTORS FAIL OVER A SHORT TIME CAUSING UP TO 90% LOSS OF CANDLE POWER RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE AT NIGHT UNLESS USING THE HIGH BEAMS ALL THE TIME, CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR ONCOMING DRIVERS. I AM REQUESTING THE ASSISTANCE OF THE NHTSA IN THIS MATTER, AS IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME AND IS NOT WILLING TO RECONCILE. *TR

HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS REFLECTIVE SURFACE NO LONGER REFLECTIVE AND PLASTIC LENSES ON FRONT OF HOUSINGS HAVE BECOME FOGGY. LIGHT OUTPUT WITH LOW BEAMS IS HARDLY MORE NOTICEABLE THAN DRIVING WITH JUST PARKING LIGHTS. THIS MAKES FOR VERY POOR NIGHT VISIBILITY DUE TO SEVERE DEGRADATION OF OEM HEADLAMP SYSTEM AND THAT THIS MAKES NIGHT DRIVING DANGEROUS IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE WITH OUT SOME SORT OF AFTERMARKET LIGHTING SYSTEM OR OEM REPLACEMENTS WHICH WILL SOON FAIL AND CAUSE THE ISSUE ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP AND/OR DESIGN FLAW AND FORD/LINCOLN/MERCURY NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THE 93-95 MARK VIII'S WITH HALOGEN BULBS SYSTEMS BEFORE ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED, LIVES LOST AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS BEGIN. *CN

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK 8 ARE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE. THESE ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE WORST OEM LIGHTS EVER PRODUCED. THEY ARE DANGEROUS DUE TO THEIR TERRIBLE LIGHT OUTPUT AND DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION!! LINCOLN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DOES NOT PRODUCE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS CAR. THIS CAR HES BECOME UNDRIVEABLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION OF THE OEM LIGHT HOUSINGS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! PLEASE TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION!! *TR
