If you can't find a kit, then you have to get yourself enough spare bulbs to guarantee that you can replace any indicator, head, side, brake or reverse light, plus number plate light.
However, IF you can't find a kit in this country, any Land Rover Stealership in the continent will be able to provide one.
And finally, as for the frogs not playing by the rules... They do play by the rules, they enforce the law. The reason why you see them stopping more foreign than local vehicles is simple: They don't need to stop a local to send him a nice summons, whereas with foreigners is a tad more complicated.
And in all honesty, the fact that the UK has the laxest of regulations in the EU when it comes to vehicle safety does not excuse us with complying with the law when we travel abroad. Just consider yourselves lucky that we are not subject to quite the same standards as the locals are. In Spain, with a spanish car, you are required to carry 2 (two) emergency triangles, whereas with a british reg you get away with only one.
I am quite fed up with people complaining about the foreign lorries flaunting the law over here and then complaining because when abroad they're not able to get away with the same things they complain about here.

Hmmm .. well I am pretty certain that I cannot get a spare headlight blulb ..... I'll just stick Piglets kit in there next time I go abroad.

I assume your daily driver has Xennons..... if so you can not change these roadside, and to be honest wih them running circa 25000 volts I'd not want to, better to electrocute the apprentice at the Stealer.
Thrasher:
Yep ... and adaptive ones at that - so deffo not a roadside repair :)

My bad, didn't think of the RRS headlights. However, I stand by the rest of my statement.
