| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The headlights on the early lincoln mark 8s are terrible, the inside of the housing discolors, clouding the lens from the inside and turning the reflective portion orange, brown, or black. these are expensive to replace, ford/lincoln seems to not want to acknowledge that they might be at fault. the headlights are lucky if they are shining at 30% of their designed illumination. almost everyone witha 1993 through 1996 model has some amount of this failure in their car. check the lincolns of distinction website, login and ask for a response. you will be surprised at the number of complaints about this one item. thanks for your attention and concern, thomas mote. *ak |
