Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The headlights that came standard on 1993-1996 mark viiis are not safe for public roads. they are probably the weakest headlights ever placed into a vehicle during the 1990s. im surprised they even passed the dot regulations. the headlights provide very little lighting for the road and they do not even give enough light to the street signs so that they can be read legibly and easily. driving on a poor lit road is impossible without turning on the high beams because other wise you become a hazard because of poor visibility. ive been in countless near accidents due to the poor lights and because they barely light up the markers on the middle of the road. they either need to replaced with the hid units that are available, or at least improved drastically; otherwise the risk of having an accident with this car during the night increases at least 10 fold.*ak
