Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: "driving within your headlights" is impossible with the 93-96 generation lincoln mark 8 unless your speed is under approximately 20mph. debris, animal carcasses, and other obstacles suddenly appear causing the driver an immediate reaction of dangerously swerving out of the way risking loss of control and potential collision with other motorists, objects, people, etc. replacement with the same part is not a sensible option because the flaw is inherent to the headlamp housings design. ford motor company should step up and remedy this safety items design deficiency.
