What Mark owners report
Recent exterior lighting complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REFLECTIVE COATING HAS ALL CLOUDED AND FLAKED OFF CAUSING HIGHLY UNSAFE NIGHT TIME DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MARK VIII FOR MODEL YEARS 93-96 WITH THE STANDARD HALOGEN HEADLAMPS. FORD MOTOR CO. IS AWARE AND SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR…
I UNDERSTAND THAT LAMPS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR MY HID HEADLIGHTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL BE UNSAFE AT NIGHT WHEN THEY EVENTUALLY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. *NM
