Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Headlamps are dim and seem to be getting dimmer as they age. after changing the bulbs in the lens assemblies and noting that the lights did not improve, inspection of the lens unit revealed burn marks and peeling off of the reflective coating inside the unit. it is so bad on the right side that a crack has appeared and moisture is entering the unit. many owners will not think it is their headlamps that are at fault when they have difficulty seeing at night. i thought it was my eyesight that was going bad. i feel this is a safety hazard that sould be corrected by the manufacturer as soon as possible. i've seen some other mark 8's with this same moisture on the lens so i think this is a very common problem. we need your help. *ak
