Collection: Car (12V) > Replacement Bulb Kits

Why have a spare bulb kit in your car

Several concrete reasons:

• Legal obligation in some European countries (Spain, certain regions of Germany, Czech Republic...) - a set of spare bulbs must be in the vehicle.
• Personal safety: a blown headlight bulb at 10 PM on a deserted road turns an ordinary journey into a breakdown. With a kit in the trunk, replacement takes 5 minutes.
• Saving on fines: driving with a blown bulb can cost €68 to €135. A spare kit costs a fraction of that amount.

What a spare bulb kit contains

Typical composition of a complete kit:

• 2 headlight bulbs (H4 or H7 depending on your vehicle)
• 1 P21W bulb for turn signal or reverse light
• 1 P21/5W bulb for combined tail light + brake light
• 1 R5W bulb for sidelight
• 1 W5W bulb for parking light or license plate light
• Often: 2 fuses (10 A and 15 A) to complete the troubleshooting

The kit is stored in a compact plastic box that fits into the glove compartment or trunk.

Bulb kit or individual purchase?

Advantages of the kit compared to buying individually:

• Grouped price often lower than the sum of individual bulbs
• All-in-one: no forgotten references
• Time-saving when purchasing (a single order)
• Organized storage in a labeled box

For a professional fleet (company, taxi, VTC), a kit per vehicle ensures that no journey is interrupted by a faulty bulb.
