I think headlights are a lot harder to remove now. Manufacturers have changed things since the days of the original Acura TL (the HID lights were constantly, and easily, being stolen and retro-fitted into the base model). As another safeguard, I believe that the Audi requires that LED lights have to be coded to each specific car.

In either case, don't tell the wife/gf/mistress how much each light costs, esp if she's good with a hammer.

If someone really wants to steal something from a car or damage it, they will. That's why there's insurance. I'm not going to lose any sleep worrying about if it could happen any more than I worry about someone burglarizing my home, a delivery guy slipping on the ice in my driveway or me getting hit by lightning. You take what sensible precautions you can and life goes on.

Thieves aren't going to risk prison when there's a good chance they're going to be caught, and even if they aren't, they won't be able to get much for lights that require a dealer to install. Not worth it to them. They'll steal something thats easier to remove and get rid of.

It is not just $55K+ cars, most modern cars have plenty of very expensive parts in them. The navi and head units in most cars cost a fortune, but are not likely to need replacing. I keep a low deductible on my comprehensive since things like windshields and the mentioned tree hitting the car would be cover under comprehensive vs. collision and comprehensive is usually less expensive and it does not usually cost mush to drop the deductible. I keep $1K deductible on collision, but $0 on comprehensive.
