It’s costly, as in more than $0.

My previous car cost nearly $40k and could be trivially be rendered disabled by my 3 year old turning on a rear overhead light. My dad had an 80s car that timed out those lights, and I would guess that the parts and assembly would add less than a dollar per light to the bill of materials.
