When I had a shop I had to change the light bulbs in the headlights on a Cadillac CTS. The book called for an hour and a half labor to change two bulbs! The book was right, too. The bumper had to be removed to get to them.

No surprise here, my neighbor's CTS was in the shop quite often and demanded a very deep check book to keep it running.
