There are several ways of doing it, all of which are a bit of a bodge (not a direct swap of one bulb for another). The best I have seen is Jay's method though.

hi guys further to this i have just recieved a pack of t5 bulbs today and the t10 bulbs, the bigger of the 3 on the back of the cluster changed no probs as there just like 501 capless but the 2 that you have to change i couldnt get them to secure for love nor money and also the bulb thats behind the light ring where the ignition barrel isnt a t5 either, can any one confirm that this is a 286 capless and is the cig lighter the same bulb a 286 capless , also doe any one know what bulbs are in the heated seat and trc and snow switch
are they these types as i have removed them from the switchs and they look like this, the ones in heated seat are same size but the trc and snow btton is a little bigger please help guys as want to get these ordered
Mate I can confirm the ignition barrel is a T5 I've done it on mine unless someone has changed it to something else.
Not sure on the Cig lighter but a T5 neo wedge led will fit the ignition barrel

Personally I would avoid using anything but SMD bulbs, especially on the dashboard. Normal LED's behind the dashboard will give patchy light spread and won't look right.
That set in the last link is what I used to do the dash, ignition barrel, ash tray, glove box.
I will check in the morning as I need to replace one of the bulbs but I'm almost 100% sure.
I bought them in a pack of 10 and it did most things
lexuspat the last link is whats in the ignition barrel but the bigger 3 plugs on back of speedo were like 501 capless but the other 2 are like the other link but dont lock they just keep turning, if you have 2 spare bulbs for cig lighter and ignition barrel id be happy to buy them off you as the ones i can find are from china or hong kong some where unless maplins do these at all, the first 2 links are smd arnt they
