CAN CHANGE HEADLIGHT BULBS ON EITHER VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 45 MINUTES

Except for an accident (someone hit me in a parking lot) I cannot remember the last time I had to change a headlight bulb. At least 20 years ago

I might be getting my well-used cars from you! I have had them out (sometimes upgrading) on everything except my wife's 2018 Toyota Avalon, which we bought at one year old from Hertz.

All my cars are pre-LED headlights. That might be a game changer.

The old headlights were incandescent, which had to be replaced every few years. The new LED bulbs tend to last longer than the life of the vehicle, about 30,000 to 50,000 hours, according to SuperGrok 4.1.

The old incandescent bulbs lasted about 300 -750 hours.

The Halogen bulbs lasted about 500-1000 hours.

In the last 60 years (first obtained my drivers license in 1965), I have only had to replace two headlamps, once in the late '60s and again in the mid '90s.
