I am going to purchase Arduino Uno ,unless someone tells me different,,,,New to this stuff but im gonna jump in and do it cause i know i can.
Any how i want this for mostly working with Led lights, i'm gonna be doing sequential custom board for tail lights on my truck for starters and want to figure out to program the controller and etc??? eventually i want to do matrix panels.
little of my research so far i need ATTINY85 with my Starter kit.
Can someone direct me to the exact kit to purchase to get started and tell me if the ATTINY85 comes with the kit?
Also what other gadgets i may need so when i start i can keep going on my project instead of waiting to order more parts???
Thanks for any help and suggestions.

The Uno is an excellent board to get started with. Its ATmega328P microcontroller has the best support by the Arduino ecosystem. The form factor of the Uno supports the many shields that allow you to connect useful components to the Arduino board by just plugging in a separate circuit board.
For the final integration of a project into your truck, I would recommend that you consider using one of the Arduino boards with a smaller form factor so they won't take up so much space. The Nano and Pro Mini both use the same ATmega328P, but are much smaller than the Uno.

Why?

The official Arduino Starter Kit is a good option. Of course there are many other kits available, and I'm sure any of them will provide a good introduction.

I'm very doubtful that you'll find any kits that include an ATtiny85. The kits are usually intended to provide the common parts that you might want when getting started with Arduino. But the ATtiny85 is not something the typical beginner will have a need for and using it is more advanced, so not really something that is appropriate for a kit.
But you don't need to worry about finding some kit that happens to contain the combination of every component you need for your project. You can just buy the specific parts you need. They are all available from electronics suppliers like DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, Farnell, etc., "Maker"-targeted companies like Adafruit and SparkFun, as well as from online marketplaces like eBay and Amazon.
