I drive through France several times each year and have always kept a set of spare bulbs in my car in case of failure and/stoppage by a French Policeman. I understood that it was compulsory to have these!Whilst I may get stopped and fined if driving with a bulb that is out, you have to be able to replace the bulb there and then, before the police will let you drive away. The same applies with the new breathalyzer law in France.
I have a Q3 on order and am wondering what is the position if the rear LED lights fail? These are an all in one cluster with only the LED strip. Have I got to carry a couple of spare light clusters just in case. I can't see a breakdown company in France or England having these to hand, so it could be days before you can drive away!
What brought this up was the failure of the rear light on my current car ( A3 Cabriolet ). Luckily the cluster is split in two and provided one part was still working it was still legal in this country.
I am sure that there must be similar other makes out there with the same thing!
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
