97000 mi US $400	Passenger headlight bulb.
108000 mi US $400	replacing headlight requires front end bumper removal, which takes 3 labor hours to take off and replace, plus $36 or so per bulb/led. One low beam went out, I had both low beams replaced. Seven months later same driver side low beam goes out. water has gotten in both lamp housings and cannot be accessed for removal. Dealership recommended replacing front light housings at $1000 per side. I consider this a design flaw.
108000 mi US $1300	Headlight modules replaced on both sides. Water intrusion in non-sealed unit would not leave the module even when lights were on for several hours in dry, low humidity conditions. Dealership advised it was a common problem and ordered newly made (2016) modules to replace. I expect the new headlight modules will last 7 years before they leak.
