Consumer Description

1998 LINCOLN MARK VLLL LSC (HID HEADLIGHT BULB;PASSENGER SIDE). POOR NIGHT VISIBILITY DUE TO SEVER DEGRADATION OF OEM HEADLAMP SYSTEM. THIS MAKES NIGHT DRIVING ILLEGAL,DANGEROUS, AND JUST IMPOSSIBLE WITH OUT SOME SORT OF AFTERMARKET LIGHTING SYSTEM OR OEM REPLACEMENTS WHICH WILL SOON FAIL AND CAUSE THE ISSUE ALL OVER AGAIN. THERE IS NO AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT BULB. FORD DID NOT CONTRACT WITH SYLVANIA TO MAKE ONE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY HID HEADLIGHT BULB WOULD NEVER BURN OUT. NOW I CAN'T EVEN SELL MY CAR. IF I DID FIND A BUYER, IT WOULD NOT BE LEGAL TO DRIVE WITH ONLY ONE WORKING HEADLIGHT. I COULD BE LIABLE FOR SELLING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. *TR
