Question from the experts: My CoA notes, under Optional Equipment; "Spare Parts Kit". Is this the same as this "Emergency Travel Kit" here?
Much appreciated!

@MartyS @MartyS.....Good point and I'm certainly not an expert on travel kits but this would be the first travel kit (A,B or C) I have seen without the bulbs. First time for everything!
Bid in the amount of $725
The bulb kit was not actually part of the travelling kit as standard. I have an original Porsche contents list from my travel kit and it clearly lists the bulb kit as optional. It also lists the shop towel as part of the kit - some will swear it was not part of the kit.
@mulsanne79......... the bulbs would go where the replacement diaphragm for the fuel pump is currently. The replacement diaphragm gasket would be in the long box & the plastic box with the assortment of bulbs would be in that position. Somehow the bulbs got lost or something. If you to Stoddard's site you can see what all goes into a 356C travel kit ....though an aftermarket kit it's pretty accurate.
@bjm12001 I was given this by Porsche in person, and there were no bulbs in it. There is not even a place for the bulbs to be inserted.
@mulsanne79 Great kit but all travel kits I've seen in the past always include several replacement bulbs as part of the kit. Did you just forget to include them?
