The best auto technology is developed in racing. Normal driving and operating conditions are amplified in racing, especially rally, so things that work on the stages should be adaptable to "real life". It's no wonder why Subaru has had so much success in the AWD market. It's also the reason Saab became what it was in the 50's-70's. Some people in the early 70's would have said turbochargers had no place in street cars.

I agree, but you know how things tend to go.

Most people won't want to remove a headlight bulb either.
I replace both of mine in under 5 minutes.
I've heard a story about a non-Volvo garage taking an hour to do just one though, claiming "The other side would be even more difficult !"
(Both sides are identical.)

Most headlights are symmetrical but things such as batteries get in the way and restrict access
I would consider the battery side more difficult. Also, headlight bulbs don't need to be changed on the spot like tires do.
