LED Lights in France

Bonjour!! Over the past 20+ years we have towed our caravan into France and always carried a spare set of bulbs for car and caravan as required by their law. However as our recently acquired Defender has LED light units for side-lights, indicators and reversing light I am not sure of the law in respect to carrying spares. As you may be aware you cannot change the individual LED's, only a complete replacement of the light unit (on my USW anyway) is the only option.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is not compulsory to carry spare bulbs anymore, it is a recommendation:

Not necessary but I take one of each light as a spare just in case anyway. It’s always good to have a spare

Even though the Range Rover and the other car are nearly all LED I still been packing the same light bulb pack I made up for my 200 TDi 90 15 years ago because if pulled would they know about LED's ? Now I know why I have never been asked to show them
