The Wife's 2007 Mazda6 had a burned-out right turn signal light. This vehicle is about to turn 13 years old and this is the first bulb to burn out. All the bulbs (high/low beam, turn signal, running lights etc) are enclosed in a headlight module. The only way to access all the bulbs is to remove the module by-way-of removing the front bumper.
Rather than playing whack-a-mole one bulb at a time, every single bulb in the front and back of the car was replaced.
Wouldn't you know, it's 99 degrees out there today with a 110 heat index. While it was apart, the headlight lenses got the deluxe treatment with the 3" Griot's buffer. It took just under 3 hours not including travel time to get the bulbs. Get this, total cost for all the bulbs at Advance Auto was $168.00. I treated myself to a Dairy Queen swirl afterward.
