spare bulbs - SV650.org

I'm going abroad soon and need to take spare bulbs I've been told. When I went last time I wasn't aware of the requirement so didn't take any. Think I've got the headlight and indicators covered. What about the rear light? I've got the double long row of rear lights. If any of them goes do they all go? And can you get those in halfords? Which ones would they be?

I believe the pointy (yuck

) rear lights are all integrated as a unit, so you can't change the LED's individually.

On the plus side, LED bulbs only pop very rarely.

Go and tell the policeman that they rarely pop, he won't be amused. You need them in case the police stop you apparently. Same for medical kit. I might have to smile for the rear lights then, that's seems too much hassle.

If you've got a kit of bulbs on you then it be right, or you could carry a couple of red LED's, you're carrying spare bulbs that way even if it isn't possible to fit them into the light!
