I'm an engineer - i can assure you that the decision was made because it got the parts through the assembly line as cheaply as possible. I'm sure some consideration was made to the over-priced dealer maintenance people. They don't care about you and your troubles replacing the headlight.

Also, as an engineer... that pisses me off. It is money-driven.
