I know that's the way it is designed to work, but tell that to a lot of the Acura MDX owners who have had LED headlights since 2014 and some of those are already starting to go out at a huge expense to replace. If you think about the MME headlights, they cycle on and off a lot with coming in and out of garages, auto high beams going on and off a lot, and even walking near the car when parked in the garage if you have your fob or PAAK in your pocket. And then there is the battery life that everybody says the cost is going to be insignificant in the future, but then you realize there are not a lot of gen 1 Toyota Prius' on the road anymore. They were telling those owners the same thing when it was first sold.LED headlights should never need replacing if they are properly driven.
The HVB should last that long (or longer) if properly maintained. Even if not the technology is going to advance and cost is going to decrease on replacements over the next decade.
If anything I can see holding onto this car even longer. Especially when I would consider myself capable of module repair once out of warranty (EE degrees and microsoldering experience FTW). Don’t doubt that this will become my 5 year old daughters car when she turns 16.
