Driving in Europe - Spare Bulb Kits

It's Easter time so that means lots of motorists will be preparing to travel across the country and many will travel throughout the European Union.

In order to ensure that the trip remains as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, it's vital to have the correct equipment.

Did you know that in most European countries it is mandatory to carry a spare bulb kit? Philips have a great range of kits in H1, H4 and H7 fittings - if you're not sure which fitting your car bulbs are then simply visit our web site and you can enter your vehicle information onto the web site and we'll advise you what you need.

The kit contains all the spare bulbs you'll generally need including a spare headlight bulb, auxillary bulbs and fuses.

There's a growing trend for vehicles to be fitted with xenon bulbs (HID) - otherwise known as a gas discharge system. These car lights are not halogen based, so you'll need a replacement xenon D2S bulb, D2R bulb, D1S bulb or D1R bulb. Some vehicles may use different fittings to these. If you have xenon HID on your vehicle then it's worth finding out which fitting you have on the car and buying a spare to carry with you.
