The passenger side headlught went out in the car this week. Having only American manufacturers as experience in having to change a light I was mentally prepared to spend $50-75 to change the entire assembly. In the foreign cars I had in America the only light I changed that was more than a mere bulb was in my BMW 740i – that cost me $275 for the taillight assembly. All the other cars with headlights gone bad cost me a decent bit of change to change the whole thing. I just had the headlight changed here for $5. Just a bulb and 2 minutes of labor (no charge). They build things for easy repair and maintenance and I have trouble understanding why anyone would have built them different. If American cars are now built with this mentality, then great. But the last American car I had was a Ford Explorer SUV. Just about everything on it was a bitch-kitty to repair or replace.
