The answer is you don't need to, there is no 'left hand drive' bulb.
I assume the OPs question is just specifically around the requirement in a lot of European countries to carry a full set of replacement bulbs with you in the car.
I would just ask the dealer to give you the bulb types of all the lights and then just buy them online.
Incidentally, France doesn't require you to have a full Bulb and fuse set with you. But you will get fined for a light out. Good news is LEDs are extremely long life and reliable

Just resurrecting this thread.
For bulb types the handbook just says - "LED" for everything except the reversing lights and indicators (which are W16W 16W and WY16W 16W respectively) and internal etc.
So my questions:
The perfect reply would be a link to example replacement bulbs for every bulb in the car. I know there has been separate threads on upgrading the non LED's etc, but if someone can put all the details in one place (here ?) or point me to where I should have found it in a previous thread, that would be FAB U LOUS!

So my questions:
- Is it the same bulb for each LED? Is it one bulb to rule them all or is it a bit more complex than that?
- For the non LED's, I know these can be upgraded - is it the same fitting as the LED's or something else.

If you want to put a little emergency kit together I would say
pack of indicator bulbs
multi pack fuses
warning triangle
can of tyre weld
a torch
10mm spanner
Hi-vis
12v battery pack
Maybe a card with relevant breakdown numbers
Kendal mint cake
Bottle of drinking water
