Spare bulbs - Civic FN2

[vtecstu]

Making very belated plans to head to Le Mans this year. From what I've read, I believe it's not compulsory to have a spare set of bulbs, but also believe that the gendarmes will look for any reason to stop and fine English drivers, so I'd like to have a set anyway!

What's the easiest / cheapest way? Will Honda sort me out some without me having to re-mortgage my house, or should I just raid Halfords while I'm picking up beam deflectors etc...? Or are Honda nice enough to have given me some already? That would explain the rattle...

Cheers - sorry for the lame question, but trying to sort quite a few things tonight!

I thought it was a legal requirement in France to carry spare bulbs.

I always have a complete set of spare bulbs in the car. During a trip to France I had a main beam bulb fail on a 2002 Honda Accord. A policeman stopped me and was going to issue an on-the-spot fine. My wife (speaks French) convinced him to let me off if I could change the bulb in 5 minutes. He laughed and agreed. From getting out of the car to switching on the new bulb took me 3½ minutes and he kept his word and sent us on our way with no fine. On my current 2005 Civic I would be lucky to change the nearside main beam in less than 30 minutes and I would have to remove the battery!
