Head light deflectors and spare bulbs, do you need them with LED lights when going to France?

[Rocking Rivet]

I have a 2018 Peugeot Boxer Autosleeper Nuevo, it has LED lights.
Will I need to fit headlight deflectors before arriving in France?
I've been looking on line and can't (as usual nowadays) find a definitive answer!
It also seems as though you should carry a set of spare bulbs, when traveling in France, is this still the case with LED lights?
If so any advice on rear light replacements gratefully accepted.

Anyone been through France recently what did you do.

We bought a set of bulbs from Halfords just in case!! We cannot adjust our LED headlights, so we keep them on the lowest positional setting so it does not glare other motorists. Also, we keep our nighttime driving to a minimum (only needed to use the lights twice in past year overseas).

If they are factory fit LED headlamps it won't be practical to carry a spare as the whole headlamp has to be replaced if it goes, same with a lot of the rear lamps.
I don't know if it still applies but used to be the case if in a country for less than 90 days providing the lights are set so they do not dazzle oncoming traffic you don't need defectors.

The law does not require you to carry spare bulbs but to fix a blown bulb if pointed out to you. With led you can not do this so officially you would have to call the breakdown truck.
