If You after other colour than it will be nice to match diodes from ac, rear window/mirror heating buttons.
original diodes(2 green and one orange) are flat and You can struggle to find them, ive got round but needs to be small, ive got 3 blue ones and not sure maybe 3 red ones
lighter bulb and key ring bulb is the same, You need to dimm some of them to make light to go everywhere - ive got red ones somewhere.
i havent t4 but but could send You other ones for free

286 for clocks, T3 for heater controls. Don't get coloured bulbs for clocks, they'll be too dim. Fine for heaters though.


I get mine here:
