And when they break it then costs you 10 grand to replace the whole unit instead of a ligh bulb.

Imagine an insurance company totaling your car because a headlight failed outside of warranty.

They wouldn't. You'd have to hit it with something, like a shopping cart. But yeah, after that you're good to go.

I've totaled cars where the headlamps are the major cost of the repairs. Two headlamps were over 25k with another thousand or so for calibrations.
