Spare bulbs? Don't know ...
Warning triangle and proper 1st aid kit are a must.
You may have a petrol can, but you don't have to. But you must not take a petrol can onto a ferry.

The blue bar with the country code and the yellow stars is sufficient, as long you are from a country of the European Community (obviously) driving in a country of the EC.

Yes, be careful before starting to change lane on an Autobahn. But most of the German motorways are speed restricted nowadays. Watch for the speed limit signs (
Remember, a

Have a great time and enjoy your tour!
