Or maybe not. I took my car in to the dealership today to get a headlight replaced. First they checked to be sure they had the part, then quoted a cost of $72 plus labor. I gulped a little but they've always been honest with me before so I told them to go ahead and put it in. An hour and a half later (admittedly I didn't have an appointment) the car was ready to go. Out of curiosity, when I had time this evening, I googled Fiat 500L replacement headlight bulbs. The prices quoted, average replacement cost, ranged from $94 to $103. My total cost, before tax, was $101.10, so I shall not complain, at least not much. It still does make me wonder though why such a little bitty item costs so much. I suspect it's similar to the reason why some little bitty pills cost so much. One of my granddaughters is taking an Economics class this summer. Perhaps I'll ask her.
