Every shop still carries headlight bulbs. There are like 10 or so types of bulbs, outside of LED and HID modules

Let's say you got a rock in your headlight and now it's full of water.

Minor details.

Joking aside, that's absolutely valid. I had an FJ80 Land Cruiser years ago - those had very expensive glass lenses. The driver's side lens had a small hole in it, about the size of an airsoft pellet. A small square of clear gorilla tape fixed it well enough, but I really wanted to do a sealed beam conversion (only available on "poverty pack" models, only in non-US markets).

Honestly it was the only vehicle where I would have rather had sealed beams for functional reasons 😂
