Reply to comment by RubydaCherry24 in What's with the large amount of cars with only one working headlight?? by artuno

No offense but I'd love to see an actual headlight halogen that is $3 for anything that's new enough to still run emissions.

I have a 2003 car and had a headlight that burned out. Getting the car inspected and they offered to replace it. Was like 3 dollars with a little bit of labor. Was chatting with the mechanic and he said that the newer cars have these proprietary Light bulbs that are ridiculously expensive like over 20x more expensive. Sounds like expensive consumer-hostile bullshit to me! Hope my car lasts for another 150k miles.

See I have never driven anything newer than an 08 so I wasn’t wrong about the roughly 3 dollar cost. I literally didn’t know new car bulbs were so expensive
