Headlights lose luminosity. Heat from headlights degrades the back reflective material and cause headlights to dim and make night driving extremely dangerous. Oem replacement headlights may be purchased for $250 which will do the same in about 1 to 2 years time.
Headlights/lincoln should give out new glass covers so light can come out at night. ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****730463.
