Is300 Dashlight Replacements

Hi all - I know this seems to have been asked and answered plenty, but I've read around eg

http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/65105-speedo-and-climate-control-light-bulb-change/

http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/65849-dash-light-size/

http://my.is/forums/f221/how-change-your-main-gauge-cluster-ignition-ring-lights-leds-pics-359216/
http://my.is/forums/f90/how-change-climate-control-center-console-leds-pics-360155/

and I've found it hard to find the best recommendations (eg some people saying "these types don't fit without filing down" etc) and different names for the bulb sizes/types, and trying to find UK sellers.

I'm not trying to pimp mine up - they've started dying so "I need to do 80 to see how fast I'm going officer" :P

I considered blue cos it looks somewhat cool but as I'm likely leaving the centre console and keyhole orange I thought maybe do white instead.

Attached is how they look currently ...

Any clarification/links would be great - it'd be nice to get done on my week off now!

Also, I like to drive with my sidelights on for visibility (helped when I had front LEDs as sidelights too which I currently don't anymore) and cos my rear lights look cool (imo) haha but in the day this dims the dash/console lights which is annoying. Short of leaving main lights on whole time rather than sides I don't know how I can get round this? :(

And defo these for the T5,s as i had to change one last week.

And i'v just ordered these to change over to, to see if their better.

$_57.JPG In total it's a 30 min job to swap, just remember to connect the dimmer switch to test before you screw the clocks back in lol.

Hope this helps.

So right now it looks like :

3 of these T10s

or http://r.ebay.com/whI2DW

and 2 of these T5s

http://www.ultimatemods.co.uk/286-led-bulb.html

or http://www.ultimatemods.co.uk/286-led-bulb-3-led.html

or http://r.ebay.com/jpyP1M

so really not sure what to go for assuming any T5/10 will fit (I've seen lots of people talking about bending LEDs to fit or filing them down - hoped someone could advise me on ones known to work fine I can get a link to buy?)

There just seems to be so many different types of them - numbers of leds on them, arrangements of leds etc - hoped to get the same ones someone has already confirmed fit without adjusting etc and give good spread
