Storage Box For Auto Bulbs

[Turbo]

I want to make up a full bulb kit for my van but I can't find a suitable box to hold them safely.

I know you can buy 'bulb kits' but they rarely have all the correct bulbs or a full set. I already have the bulbs, just need something suitable to hold them!

A small plastic box with pluck foam would work or are there proper bulb boxes?

I made one years ago out of a cheap copy of a peli case lined with foam, I think a buttie box and two bits of foam would do just cut holes for the bulbs

I also have one of these, bought years ago for a few quid

What about those clear organisers that you get in places like Wilko's?

Not pretty, but mine are wrapped in a bit of kitchen towel in a Tupperware style box.

Mine are in a plastic bag, Probably smashed to bits

...for when they blow regularly!

I had a 2010 VW Polo, now passed to my son (300,000 miles and still going!) that ate headlamp bulbs, I could swap one in under 5 mins, including digging the Torx screwdriver out of the toolkit.

Son called on FaceTime a couple of weeks back as inevitably another had blown, before he opened his mouth to say anything my three year-old grandson appears on screen and says ‘grandpa, daddy can’t can’t get the headlamp out’

can you post a picture of all of the bulbs together to get a sense of what you’re after? I could 3D print the box of your dreams if I can come up with a decent design.

I know, if it’s cold & it won’t start, pull out the yolk & it will be all white!

I’d better join you in the car Bob!

Can’t believe you shelled out on so many. Coat on.

Back in the days where only a few sizes were needed I used a tobacco tin lined with kitchen towel, currently use one of those plastic containers takeaways come in.

He's probably boiled the bulb and fried the cables
