The Philips Blue vision are more white than stock bulbs but don't really compare with HIDs. Still they are good value and the only real 'legal' choice.
They may stick out passed the wheel arches - which is illegal.
They may rub - mainly on the front with full lock
They may affect handling and the steering wheel may no longer self-centre.
It would be worth testing them if you can before you purchase them.
I think the speakers are active which may complicate things. Worth posting that question on the US forums - there aren't many GS owners that have a modified stereo system in the UK.
You need to short the E1 and TE1 terminals on either the DLC1 or 2 connectors for it to display the error codes.
However OBD-II was implemented on the LS around 1995 so you may have OBD-II diagnostics. If that is the case you need to plug in an OBD-II reader to obtain the codes - the E1 and TE1 method will not work.
Is the rattle not just coming from the sunroof retractable cover? That tends to rattle.
Can you press on the sunroof whilst driving and it stops the rattle?
I know of people in the US who have had the sunroof replaced under warranty because of noise but that would be very costly.
The problem with the article on autosite is it is just a re-write of the Lexus press release but using incorrect information.
The actual information that Lexus have released is that it will:

There is also a list of the changes made at the end of 2000. Worth getting a facelift model if possible. Should be able to get one within the budget.
The Sat Nav part is basically the same however it has a touch screen so you can enter addresses etc much more quickly. The screen also controls the heating and audio and you get a fuel computer as well.
Haven't written the model history yet but basically in 98 the S and SE were available. In 99 the sport came along and the SE got 17" wheels. End of 2000 the model had a face lift and the sport was discontinued. Then the S model was just named the GS300. A year later the GS300 was dropped leaving only the SE until July 2003 when the sport made a comeback.
