John/Horace Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Doesn’t necessarily mean dealer replacement, diy is often doable I think. But the theory of longevity means they aren’t thinking of it ever needing replacement, so much harder to replace assembly in lots of cases. Aftermarket options for replacement is probably limited unless car is popular model. The cost is probably raising car accident repair costs quite a bit; lots of $500 ++ tail lights now. The lower power consumption is the big upside; with electric cars gradually taking over. Affects range capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
