What owners wrote
The head lamps of this car are small with makes it hard enough to see but they easily turn a yellow color that can't be cleaned. It's very hard to see when driving at night and most of the time I use my high beams. I've almost been hit at least twice, at night, once someone pulling out of parking lot the other time they were making a right turn onto the street I was on, and didn't see my car. The 1996 mark viii came with very good hid head lamps, I beleive all of these cars need to have them.
Dt*: the contact stated the headlights flash intermittently as a result of a circuit breaker opening. There is an NHTSA recall, # 98v009000, regarding the exterior lighting: headlights: switch. The VIN was not included in the recall. The dealership has not been informed.
