Bulbs:
- Headlight- a pair of the Philips Plus series bulbs, plus another pair as spares
- Other - your Owners Manual will have a list of bulb types. Get a couple of spare for brake lights and for indicators. Generally the bulbs are pretty good quality and don't blow very often.

Fuses:
- Grab a small assortment box of each size (there are two). Again, don't blow often, unless you're playing with the electrics.

Tools:

Cable ties, you would be amazed at how often those can get you out of trouble.

Cut them up for elastic bands, slip one over fuse box and things before water crossing just a couple off the top of my head. A great invention just like cable ties.
