You know how it feels. On a trip, in the Middle on Nowhere, one of your light brakes down. No shops, no proper information, it's always good to have some (correct) spare parts with you.

So I made a list of all the spare bulbs I need for my next trip. It took me longer than I thought to make the list. Fittings, types, colors etc. the land of the Bulbs feels a little bit like Babylon.

If you use this list, keep in mind that every brand has his own types, number etc., but I think with this information you can get the correct bulbs (I did anyway). If you find anything wrong, please let me know.

I also found out that the Turn Signals can be replaced by LED Bulbs. But you will need to build in a 50 W resistor or special LED Resistor ( otherwise the LED will flash faster than normal). Price for the 4 LEDS, +- €40.
