Defective design/manufacturer resulted in failure of headlamp assemblies. Cost to repair is $800 per side. Total cost approximately $1600 no aftermarket or substitute available. Replacement warranty is one year after installation. Lincoln and osram sylvania both contacted without acceptable resolution. Sylvania and lincoln acknowledge problem and also refuse to replace with more reliable subsequently designed/manufactured replacements installed in later production runs of the same vehicle.
Headlights have insufficient beam power. There quite dim!!!
The headlights are super dim. It is very scary driving in an uknown area at night.
Car has extremely dim headlights, factory design flaw. Brakes are undersized for a car this heavy. Rotors warp after only 5000 miles.
This is a 1996 mrk viii lincoln. The headlites have lost the reflective material off of the inside of them and are now so dim that I don't dare drive this car at night. I can't see the road! If I can't get where I'm going by dark I have to stop and stay at a motel, it's just to dangerous..a 4 year old car shouldn't be like this. I have a 50 year old gmc that has brighter lites and is far safer to drive at night.
The lighting from the original hid headlights are insufficient. This could lead to a wreck at any time. I have 20/20 vision and have to be very aware of my surroundings at night! I would be worried to drive through an area that I have never been in the evening. These need to be recalled with a better lighting solution given.
Turn signal and emergency flasher failures intermittant over the life of the car.
