I have a 1995 lincoln mark viii. The head lights are so dim, at night I am unable to have a full visual of what most car-owners are able to see. This problem is due to the headlights on my car, (with brand new bulbs). I know a few people that have around the same year as me with the same model (2 1994's and 1 1995) and they have the same problem. I have also looked into it through vast amounts of mark viii forums and the result is the same.
