The headlight covers on the vehicle collect moisture and fog over to the extent that visibility is impaired. The moisture does not go away, clear up, or disperse. The dealer says that there is no fix for the problem, although it has been reported in a tech. Service bulletin from Lincoln in January, 2002. The headlights on the auto are ineffective with the moisture build-up. It is an unsafe condition.
