Do you travel away a lot?
If not, are you really going to be changing bulbs by the roadside?
I would just keep the bulbs in a tub in the garage/shed.
Automotive bulbs are pretty tough and will survive fine in the original cardboard boxes chucked in any old box or even loose in the pockets under the seat or the back of the glovebox.
Apart from the £100+ discharge bulbs. I don't even keep a spare one of those in stock

Ring do a decent boxed bulb kit, it’s good value if you see what’s in it.like all these things they end up full of the bulbs you don’t need.

When I used to take the Seven all over Europe, I kept spare bulbs in an old vitamen screw top jar thingie - jammed in with spare fuses, they couldn't move much and didn't get damaged. Actually had to change headlamp bulb somewhere up a mountain pass in Austria in the middle of torrential rain storm - luckily a petrol station appeared out of nowhere with a big canopy

I cannot understand why you all “shell” out so much

 

[Cobbler]

I’m sure you can “poach” someone’s ideas for storage.

Look up 'Lock and Lock' food storage boxes, ideal.

For keeping eggs in ? What do you use to stop them rolling about ?

Takeaway plastic carton and toilet paper...the same way we used to keep our birds eggs in after raiding nests

In over 30 years of driving I've only ever had a few bulbs blow,wouldn't think there's a need to carry spares.

So many replies, some helpful, some not but they are quite funny so I don't mind!

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

That's what they have been stored in for the previous 2 vehicles, I just wanted something that offered a bit more protection.

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.

Thanks for the kind offer, if I can't get something ready made sorted I may give you a shout.

That's a very nice case, probably a bit too big but something like what I want.

I travel the most of Ireland marshalling at motorsports events, sometimes over a long weekend, often in the middle of nowhere! More than once I've had to carry out emergency repairs, usually to mates cars. I'm going to convert the van to a semi camper/day van but make everything removable so that I can still use it as a van if needed. Plan is to revisit some of the amazing places I've found on my motorsport rounds, but this time be able to enjoy them at my leisure!

Now that's an idea! I might have to raid the lunchbox cupboard & see if there's something suitable. Then I could buy some pick & pluck foam to customise it.

My box of bulbs from the wagon, feeling somewhat overdressed as usual :




Every size and shape of 24 volt bulb that I'll ever need for the wagon and any trailer that will ever be behind it, and spare bulbs for the interior lights in the cab as well.. And in the lift out tote tray I keep tools that I need for getting to any blown bulbs. Straight and Philips screwdrivers, Torx drivers, terminal driver, pliers, and some emery tape for cleaning up the contacts, it all saves rummaging around in your toolbox.
