| Tl*the contact owns a 1996 lincoln mark viii. the vehicle has high intensity headlights, but one headlight is bright while the other is dim. in 2007, the passenger side headlight was replaced and now the driver side lamp needs replacing. ford no longer makes the part and could not provide information on how it could be obtained. the purchase date was unknown. the current mileage was 40,000 and failure mileage was 39,000. update 04-02-08 *bf | |||

| The headlights on these cars (generation 1 lincoln mark viii, 1993 to 1996) are awful and it is virtually impossible to find replacements-the reflective coating on the inside deteriorates, the outer lens gets yellow and dull-difficult, almost impossible to see at night, especially low beams-ford should make good on repairs for these models, there are thousands on the road, all are a hazard to the owner and to other drivers. *tr | |||

| I am the original owner of a 1996 lincoln mark viii equipped with luminarc high intensity headlights. the vehicle has 56,089 miles. the driver's side headlight has failed and apparently is no longer serviceable. the manufacturer's design did not allow for the simple replacement of a light bulb but instead requires the replacement of the entire headlight assembly at a cost of approximately $900.00 plus labor per side. 97 and 98 models are designed for simple bulb replacement at a cost of approximately $260.00 per bulb. while investigating the facilitating of head light repairs for my automobile i have discovered that head light assemblies for 1996 model cars are obsolete and replacement bulbs for 1997-1998 model cars have been on back order for approximately six months and are not due to be available for another 3-4 months. my internet research has led me to an unknown number of owners in similar peril. we are all scrambling for solutions to keep our autos on the road both safely and legally. internet searches for used parts (lincoln customer service actually refers you to private used parts dealers rather than supply parts themselves), possible new parts and even fabricated new light systems (questionable legality) are being pursued. it has become apparent that there are no good solutions and we owners have few options available to us. the manufacturer has designed a vehicle lighting system that has failed to last or be successfully serviced within the vehicle's useful lifespan. in closing, ford motor company has created a class of car owner that can not keep his car street legal or safe. ford has abandoned these owners to fend for themselves in pursuit of safety. these are not ancient cars, they are well within their useful lifespan and ford should be responsible for facilitating their safe operation during that time. currently, ford has no reasonable answers and the situation they have created is wholly absurd. cory a. david. *nm | |||

| I would like to make a complaint about my lincoln mark viii headlights from 1993-1996. the headlights after a couple years begin to degrade. the reflective coating inside the parabola turns chalky and therefore does not reflect light the way it was intended. this makes for very poor lighting at night which could cause serious injury or even death. lincoln new about this and switched to hid (high intensity discharge) units in 1996, but only on the lsc models. ford/lincoln sells these units but at a very very high price. this should be a safety recall and hid's installed in the cars with the defective headlamps before someone dies. *nm | |||

| Very poor night driving conditions due to what seems to be poorly designed headlamp fixtures. the aging factory headlamp fixtures do not seem to produce enough light for night driving resulting in dangerous conditions due to low visibility. the fixtures seem to yellow and fog abnormally with age and it also seems that the heat produced by the factory specified lamps actually damage the internal reflective material, both conditions reduce effective output of the fixtures. these conditions seem to occur with age and use, new fixture output is acceptable.*ak | |||

| I just purchased a 1996 lincoln mark 8, while driving it home, it got dark and i turned on the lights...the lighting system was terrible. i could hardly see. this is extremely dangerous. how can a person drive at night, if the lights fail to properly illuminate the highway? as i got to checking, this is a severe problem with this car, as complained about by other owners. is there anything that can be done? these are the orginal lighting units from the factory, and they are extremely dangerous.*ak | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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. | |||

| Head lights not bright enough for night driving. dt | |||
| We have been noting the high number of 1993-1996 lincoln mark 8 owners that have been reporting serious headlight problems with their cars, yet nothing has been done by your offices. ford & lincoln will apparently do nothing because you do nothing. these are serious safety concerns of the owners. they can't see down the road at night because of the serious apparent design flaws of their headlights. what is the good of having a government transportation agency that will not start an investigation with an issue such as this??? ford/lincoln will not acknowledge a problem beacuse they know you have not done anything . probably they hope that time will run out and every one will trash these $40,000 cars or trade them in . it is interesting that the later models, 1997-1998 mark 8s, have a diffferent headlight system. but no help or retrofit to the older model owners. what good is the government in these cases where they do nothing??? a false sense of security to the owners who trust that you will do something and investigate. headlights, come on - how much more serious can you get??? when you review the years in question, you can see that some accidents have occurred. and of course these are only the reports of owners who are aware of your agency. dt | |||

| This is to register a complaint about the inadequate lighting system of the generation 1 mark viii. i have a 1996. this head light system is totally inadequate at nighttime, and frequently requires i use my high beams to see appropriately, even with lamp posts on and shining. i've often found myself swerving to avoid badly marked curbs on the left side, for example, because by the time i see these curbs, i'm almost on top of them. this is not an indication of bad driving, it's just plain bad lights. ford fixes this problem with their hid lamps in the 1996 lsc, which according to many, is a direct fit replacement for these gen 1 mark viiis. i am unsure how many of these bad light systems are out on the road, but i am absolutely sure that these are a definite safety concern, these should be fixed. it is imperative this be addressed. i should not have to spend an extra $1000 or more to be able to see the road at night. if ford had properly tested their system, it would not be an issue today. replacement lenses alone will not work, as they will fail to provide light as quickly as the current ones did, negating the benefits. brighter bulbs also do not work, either due to the bad lenses, or failure of the sockets and housings due to the higher heat. and if *that* isn't a saftey issue (electrical fire due to higher wattage by an attempt to fix a known problem) i don't know what is. ford needs to fix this issue, bottom line, for the saftey of not only the owners of the gen1 mark viiis, but for the others on the road as well. thank you .*ak | |||

| The headlights are too dim for safe night driving. i have replaced both assemblies and bulbs (right and left) with new ones, as well as checked the eletrical system, and the light output is still so weak that driving at night is unsafe. i replaced the assemblies because the reflective material on the inside of the assembly had been burned off by the bulbs. (the assembly is less than three inches in height. the close proximity to the bulb in combination with poor reflective material resulted in the material burning or flaking off.) even with the new assemblies, with all the reflective material intact, and clear unyellowed lenses, the light output is still too weak for safe night driving. i can only assume the problem is due to bad design.*ak | |||

| The chrome reflective material on the inside of the headlight assemblies flakes off with age. this vehicle is a 1996 model, and although just over 5 years old, the reflective material has flaked off the inside of the headlights, meaning the bulb only has the base plastic to reflect off, which means output is virtuall nothing. i can send you one of these defective assemblies if you would like to inspect it. | |||
