Is it not a capital offence these days to get out of the car and leave the engine running?
Best to use someone else to check the lights or look in the mirror when a reflective window or similar is behind the car.
Or, in the case of a popular model of car, just observe other cars of a similar type to see if their rear lights are on.
On the subject of lights ...
I saw a video the other day about a Hyundai vehicle on which a headlight unit related LED bulb had blown and the mechanic (USA) was seeking to replace it.
After deciding it would be easiest to remove the light unit to access the bulb he claimed to discover that the entire unit was sealed, in so far as bulb changes were concerned, and that meant that the entire light unit needed to be replaced. Apparently they cost over $1000 USD.
This seems a little strange and unlikely but not entirely unbelievable.
Does anyone have personal knowledge or experiences that would back up the story?
