Yup, that's why I said except on some newer cars. Headlights were what I was thinking about too. Even some non-HID headlights have become a real pain to replace

- mschuster91 12y agoThe problem with the headlights is crash resistance. Old(er) cars had plenty of space available in the engine room because the "air" was used to absorb impact in crash situations. New materials/manufacturing processes allow for entire removal of "dead space", with more and more components for "luxury" stuff (luxury compared with an old car, like all-side radar, active parking assistants, multi-zone AC,...) squeezed in every cubic centimetre of the car. And so, no more space is left for your hands when you try to replace a f...ing 4mm wide lamp. Unless you disassemble the container for the window washing fluid, unmount the brake fluid container and bend two multi-wires (Renault Laguna, right-front lamp assembly).
