You have to admit: how to change a dead light bulb:

20y ago:

• Open the hood
• Remove the old lighbulb
• Install the new lightbulb
• Close the hood
  Total: 5mins

10y ago:

• Open the hood
• Remove the part obstructing access to the lightbulb (4 substeps, 15mins)
• Unmount the lightbulb block (4 more screws in tight space, none of your screwdriver fits in the space)
• Take apart the lightbulb block (3 more screws)
• Replace the dead bulb
• Remount everything
  Total: 1h

Almost now:

• Press "Open hood" on the embedded computer, enter the mechanics access password that you got from the car maker after arguing on the phone for 1h
• Remove the protective panel above the hood compartment, that's just a piece of plastic with proprietary screws incompatible with everything in your toolbox.
• 50 more substeps, instructions include "recommended crane to lift the engine out of the car: [specific model only sold in Guanzhou, China]", 2 persons operation 2h passed
• Replace the whole "lightning apparatus" that's a single piece including all front lights, left and right, as it's all solded and cannot be taken apart without destroying everything. 300$ on Aliexpress with no warranty, 1000$ for the OEM model.
  Total: 8h.
