Here we have a Subaru Forester with *one* working brake light and two working taillights.

Don’t come to Texas if you are scared by things like that...
Only one out of three taillights working is super common down here.

I’m constantly seeing cars around here with one working headlight. I can’t even fathom the sort of cognition that would lead to someone thinking “Nah, it’ll be fine.”

For city driving, one headlamp and two parking lamps are probably adequate for the front end. Still, if it were my car, I’d be stopping for a replacement bulb at my first opportunity.

One light is normally going to be enough for you to see. I think the bigger issue that when that second light fails, you are immediately in the dark, which could be quite dangerous.
That said, I had two cars on one light go by me while I was waiting to make a left last night, and it was super annoying, much harder to judge speed and distance with only one light.

Well most cars don’t tell you when a light is out (as far as I know) so maybe they don’t know it’s out. That reminds me of a time I saw someone’s reverse light was out and coincidentally we went to the same gas station and I let him know.

common as muck for Forester brake lamp bulbs to blow.
same thing happens a lot on Holden C(r)aptiva

That’s why you occasionally take your car in for service and, while there, ask the service staff to check and, where necessary, replace bulbs. Or just recruit a friend to help you with a quick walk-around bulb check.
