Why keep a car bulb kit in your vehicle

Staying ready for any sudden bulb failures is essential to ensure that your vehicle is both road safe and legal. If you drive with faulty lights, your road visibility can become limited, and it’s harder for other drivers to distinguish where or when your car is moving. Carrying a Halfords spare bulb kit is even more helpful and convenient if you’re driving abroad. Across Europe, many countries legally require that you carry a spare bulb kit or spare bulbs. Carrying a replacement bulb kit will save you from spending more money on a garage repair and help you to avoid any potential fines for driving without your required car lights.

Choosing the right spare bulb kit for your car

At Halfords, we recognise that choosing the correct bulb or spare bulb kit can get confusing. That’s why our car bulb finder tool is available to help our customers out. Enter your registration number and receive a tailored list of spare kits compatible with your vehicle’s make and model. Our car bulb buyer’s guide is also very helpful for this, as it categorises all the information you need to know about purchasing replacement car bulbs or spare bulb kits. There are some differences between bulbs, including H4 and H7 options. So, let’s break it down – H4 bulbs are dual-filament, meaning that the bulb can emit both a low and high beam, whereas H7 bulbs are single-filament, so they can only serve as either a high or low beam. They are not interchangeable due to different base designs, so consult your owner’s manual to find out which your vehicle requires. An H4 bulb is more commonly used in older vehicles, whereas H7 bulbs are popular amongst more modern vehicles. For more information, please visit our complete list of car bulb types.

How to use a spare bulb kit

To use your spare bulb kit, you’ll need to identify which bulb is faulty. You can begin with a visual inspection by removing the suspected bulb and checking it for clear damage like a broken filament or blackened glass. If you have a modern car, it may alert you to a bulb fault with dashboard warnings. Otherwise, you’ll need to test each light manually by turning on each light, testing your brakes, and reversing – have a friend walk around your car and note any broken lights while you do this.

Once you’ve discovered the faulty car bulb, you can now replace it by checking your vehicle’s handbook to see how exactly you can access the socket. If you’d prefer expert installation over DIY repairs, visit your local Halfords for a bulb fitting service. Quick and easy, our professionals will fit your replacement bulb for you.
