Carrying replacement car bulbs

Having a spare set of replacement car bulbs is always a good idea, and in some European countries, a legal requirement. Without fully working headlights or brake lights, your visibility as a driver is limited and your visibility to other drivers is also at risk. Having replacement car bulbs with you at all times will ensure that you will not be delayed should your headlight or brake light bulb needs changing. To maximise your safety and abide by the law, carry the same car bulbs that are currently fitted to your vehicle.
