Ah yes, you can see how well having less computers works by how hard Kia and Hyundai's are to steal in the US.

Kia removed the chip-in-key feature to save money, they essentially had no anti-theft measures at all.

The head light thing is because manufactures use the same CAN bus (network) to control security features and lighting. So by saving 50 feet of wire they expose unprotected access to the car's computers.
