How not to change a bulb

Why is that?

If you remove the headlight, you need a 10mm wrench.
This a method in which you can do it on the side of the road without using ANY tool.

... and assumes you've had the foresight to carry a spare bulb with you, in which case you might as well carry a spare 10mm ring spanner as well. Why make life difficult? I certainly wouldn't like to try the above method at the side of the road especially in the dark.

This is a legal requirement on my country...
You must have at least one headlight bulb, one stop bulb and one signal bulb on the trunk. Along with two (2) warning triangles, a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit.

Needing to take a spare set of bulbs when we go to France next month; does anyone know where to get a complete set? May otherwise need to head to Halfrauds and pick up individual bulbs. Thanks

Aware Halfrauds do a set, although it doesn't include headlight, hence my comment about picking up individual bulbs. Would be good to buy a complete set. Did search LR site but came back nothing found, so thanks Southam.
Will perhaps check Duckworths

Hellfrauds do sell HB3 IIRC but they wont sell them specific to LR/RR due to them blowing all the time. You could buy a normal spare box set from there and just some of their cheap HB3 separately maybe ?

I made a set up from odd spares I had.
I was told, yes in France you need a spare set of bulbs but you dont have to carry the tools required to change them - on some cars it means removing the bumper or wheel arch protection. Jules

Wait, you're telling me someone owns a Land Rover and doesn't have a 10mm spanner in the car? Don't they know? Always carry a 10mm spanner in a post 2004 LR, it's practically the law Rolling with laughter

All LR owners should be fitted with a prosthetic wrench.






Please no jokes about having a King Dick .

No problem adding a cheap Halfrauds bulb to your kit as you're unlikely ever to use it. If you did find you needed it it would at least last until you got home!
Make sure it's the correct bulb though - even my local LR Main Dealer sold me the wrong bulb for my SD4.
Not sure how this rule can be applied now when most new cars seem to have LED units. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.
