I think in France you have to carry a spare set of bulbs but they dont have to fit your car. I may be wrong on this but it sounds plausible to me. Bureaucracy being what it is. Jules

Some of the tools I carry, plus multigrips & pliers, tyre repair kit etc, jumper leads & tow rope. Spare water is the the most critical item if you are in the outback!

Arghg, don't show us tools and spares! I've just returned from a LR sabbatical coz I got so sick of having to carry them in my Discos.
Hoping the Freeo is better than that. MY11 SD4 SE Auto

I bought a set of bulbs for the Freelander from the local mainstealer when I bought the car. It was a similar price to Halfrauds and as proper LR parts should fit and be right for the car. Of course if they are wrong then I should have some comeback from the mainstealer, something you won't get from a Halfrauds all purpose kit.

From the site
https://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/traveller-info/driving-in-france/

Spare bulbs are NOt compulsory. But see here https://www.drive-france.com/products/spare-bulbs-kit/

Compulsory are :

Driving Licence
V5 documents
Insurance documents
GB sticker or on Euro reg plate
reflective jacket stored next to driver
headlamp adjustment
warning triangle
breathalyser but no fine for its absence

Also see here https://www.drive-france.com/checklist/ Jules
