Lightbulb Basic tools/supplies for roadside repairs

I would like to assemble a small but basic tool kit to have in the car for simple roadside "adjustments". What would you include? The limitation is that it must fit into the factory supplied tool box which I will be removing the fitted insert.

In similar what supplies would you have on hand? fuses, bulbs...etc.

What I carry: 10mm socket & wrench, 2 screw drivers (phillips / flat). Electrical tape, box of assorted fuses

No bulbs, that can wait until I get home.

you could just go to Walmart and get that huge $20 garage tool set that they sell. It has everything, albiet most of it is low quality, but still, there is a lot of stuff in that thing

Just a quick note about Lexus RA, it's available for Lexus owners up to 4 years from the vehicle's in-service date.

I noticed that 10mm seems very common on the car and concluded similar for a tool kit.

Thanks guys!
