Pros: plenty bright at night

So my wife and I have a 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. It\u2019s got about 20,000 miles on it. About 3 months ago, the wind blew a grocery cart into her front quarter panel, leaving a very minor dent. Turns out I was wrong, the headlight has its own control unit. If condensation gets in the headlight, it can short the headlights control unit, which can, in turn, short out the entire car\u2019s computer system. A cracked headlight is now a month-long, $6,000 repair situation requiring a rewiring of the car.

Pros: minor dent, headlight cracked

Cons: month-long repair, expensive

Vehicle: Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

Mileage: 32186 km

DEPOs are absolute trash. I've had them literally crumble while sitting on my kitchen table... Like tabs started flying around...

Cons: absolute trash, crumble
