Driving aboard - do I need to carry a spare bulb kit?
There seems to be confusing feedback about the need to carry a spare bulb kit when driving in Spain. I have a 2014 Honda CR-V and there appears to be no bulb kit for this vehicle on the market. Does that mean I no longer have to carry a spare kit when driving abroad?

Do what everyone else does. Just buy a universal bulb kit. Doesn't matter that the bulbs won't fit the car, a driver cannot fit bulbs to most cars anyway. It'a almost always a garage job. This rule is so stupid it has been relaxed in France. But one difference in Spain is you have to carry high vis vests inside the car for everyone in the car and have to carry two warning triangles.

One low beam bulb has gone on my Mondeo. Replacement choice is boundless so which bulb to choose? HJ says not to buy Xenon but that still leaves normal, 100%, 120%, blue etc choices. Some come as singles,...
Can any one help, i've replaced the bulb... nothing, I've checked the connector plug and that's fine still nothing, all the other sidelights work.
Can anyone give any pointers on what it could be?
