Our airplane is back in annual. The battery for the emergency transponder need to be replaced. One air filter needs replacement, mostly little stuff. The auxiliary lights bulbs for the basic instruments need to be fixed as they are really dim. We sure as hell can't take pictures at night, so we don't fly at night often, mostly when getting to or from an out of state project or flying a football stadium all lit up at night.
The stupid little bulbs for instrument lights are over $100 EACH! Likely the same bulb for a car is a pack of a dozen for 15 bucks. The main instrument panels are oversize iPad like displays and have their own lighting. but if they all went out and you are flying at night, you need to see the instruments with more than a flashlight. Unless of course the alternator and the battery died and you are flying at night, then the flashlights come out. No big deal, gotta do it.
