I mean, basically any car in the past decade or so has LED headlights? And older bulbs would generally be rated for between 500 and 3000 hours of use, depending on the model. Considering people often try to avoid driving at night (… in part because of those LED headlights), once or twice over the decade or so lifespan of a car is pretty reasonable.
Also: Popping a wheel off is not really that hard and is something people should know how to do anyway in the event they get a flat on the side of the road. Finding a place you can do work on your car is a real problem with apartment life but setting the jack, jacking it up, and taking off the wheel is maybe 20 minutes of effort if you aren’t experienced with it. Then reach under, swap out the bulbs, and you are done.
Like, this really feels like the usual kind of discourse around this. People want to be able to repair stuff but don’t understand what that actually entails. If jacking up your car is not something you are comfortable with, don’t do it. Pay someone to do it for you. Same with all the people who think they are going to re-solder every single connection on a tiny chip.
It is going to vary from car to car (can’t wait for the person who insists their brand new 2010 car that nobody ever heard the name of doesn’t have this problem…). But the general rule of thumb is that the easy stuff is accessible from just popping your hood. Refill reservoirs, look at your engine and say “that ain’t right”, and swap out batteries. For stuff like draining and replacing oil or swapping out long lasting bulbs? Prop that shit.
