You’re slot on. All the new gizmos on cars make then ridiculously pricey to repair. I read on this site at one point that they LED headlights on an Acura TLX are $600 so if you have a relatively minor frontal hit damaging the lights you’re $1200 in parts just for lights before anything else and labor etc. I can easily…
