These are parts I use consistently in my labs
Capacitor kit
Resistor kit
Jumper wires
Bread board(s)
Larger breadboard. Recommended for larger projects but I haven’t used it too much. Best for large IC circuits
Multimeter. This has all the right features
Other things that can be useful:
•Wire strippers
•Pliers
•Electrical Tape
•Tackle Box or tool bag (to carry everything)
•Flat jumper wires
As you get into classes you’ll need specific parts (transistors, logic gates etc) but this should get you started. I use the things I linked in every lab weekly.
Feel free to message me with any questions.
Although not the cheapest, ebay is probably the easiest way to find faulty systems.
Some equipment recommendations:
not an expert, but I think the units on your VAC (V~, the skwiggly line is the symbol for AC-alternating current. The other symbol is DC, direct current) are too high. I had the same problem with the first multimeter I bought. The V~ didn't go down to 2V, it started at either 20V or 200V. The one I got that works is: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAVAT9S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The AC Voltage range on that one is: 2V/20V/200V+-/ 600V+-
2V (AC) is the likely range your body voltage will be.
If you are going to buy a multimeter it's worth spending a little extra and getting one that auto ranges. https://www.amazon.com/Neoteck-Multimeter-Multimeters-Resistance-Transistor/dp/B01NAVAT9S
If you don't need the Arduino for anything else, a USBasp programmer will do the job instead. Just make sure you get one with a 6-pin connector included. https://www.amazon.com/Paddsun-Programming-Programmer-Quadcopter-ATMEGA128/dp/B01IBFMJEA
This one should do the things you need. You just want to make sure you get one that's not just for electricians (which usually only measure whole volts, no mV) I have one that does tach, dwell etc, but I'd be surprised if you need anything like that on a car as new as yours :)

If you’re in the mood to use money to solve the problem buy a multimeter. Then you can check to make sure your 12v power supply really is 12v and monitor the current draw of your LED strands. Lastly it has a diode tester so you can troubleshoot individual LEDs. I had a strip of LEDs die out and they blinked as they started getting bad. If just one diode fails it breaks the chain.
Something like this may work well. Just make sure the one you get can read DC current. https://www.amazon.com/Neoteck-Multimeter-Multimeters-Resistance-Transistor/dp/B01NAVAT9S/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1541125146&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=multimeter&dpPl=1&dpID=51O8dm25vtL&ref=plSrch
P.s - I would wager the LEDs are dying from running at too high of a voltage. You might calculate a bit of headroom in the resistor choice for your replacement LEDs. Running cheap stuff at 100% it’s rated power non stop is asking for trouble. I’d shoot for 75-80% of their rated voltage.
