Isn't the "requirement" something of an urban myth? I thought it was
more that French coppers were less tolerant of letting you drive on
after they'd pointed out a blown bulb. See eg
http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice..._equipment.pdf So if you
don't carry spare bulbs you may have to call someone out to change one.
But AIUI you can't be done simply for not carrying the bulbs (unlike the
fluorescent jacket).
