1998 Lincoln MarkLights

Vehicle is experiencing moisture in the headlamp housing. Problem is on the right front side of vehicle, with the possibility that the left headlamp may be affected. Also, the rear brake stoplight has signs of moisture in it as well. A tsb was issued by ford (98-13-10) in july of 1998 regarding the moisture problem. I was told that this is not covered under warranty, though I have a 100,000 extended warranty purchased with the vehicle in august of 1999. Moisture is causing loss of reflectivness and discoloration of silver reflective housing within the headlamp. I feel that this is a safety issue and would like it addressed.

The new blue cast headlights on some lincolns are way too bright for oncoming drivers. They glare and are difficult to face in oncoming traffic. Some other luxury cars have these same lights. I think they should be taken off the road. *Ak
