9. When You Turn Off the Lights
Estimated New Cost: $250–700*; Estimated DIY Cost: $30*
Make an array of flashlights so bright that the police are unable to detect the broken headlight, tricking them into not stopping you for it. One automobile owner DIY’d a headlight after realizing it was less expensive to mount three torches to the opening where his headlight had been.

This is far less expensive in comparison to having it serviced by a mechanic. A $15–$20 halogen bulb can cost up to $700 to fix, depending on labor expenses. You can get seven fines for a broken headlight before the cost/benefit starts to balance out on its own, as the average cost of a ticket is $90.
