"A high performance and styling steal"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The chromed wheels have started to corrode on the inside. One wheel has developed a pinhole leak through the rim as a result of this corrosion.

The remote release for the fuel door often takes over ten tries before the door pops open.

General comments?

This is one of the best styled automobile, inside and out, to come out of Detroit.

The performance and handling is first rate, right up there with cars like Jaguar.

Unfortunately the headlights are dismal. The low beam lights are practicly worthless.

But the optional JBL sound system is fantastic.

I agree the Lincoln mark VIII is indeed one of the best cars that I have ever owned. Thank You for getting the word out about this elegant car. I wish that Lincoln would bring it back, I am sure it would be a hit.

I agree that the low beam headlights are a crock. I called a dealership and they want $800.00 to replace the passenger side low beam light because it is a HID light. They must think people are made of money!

Have either of you tried to replace the bulb inside the headlight? Years ago, I replaced the bulbs or lamps inside the lenses of my 5.0 Mustang for around 15 bucks. The results were brighter lights that threw light farther down the road. It was a great investment.
