You forgot the Switch Clusters ~~ :)
Nice Work! 
Here's what I did using a little soldiering using 1w 12V LED singles by modding the socket base and removing the filament bulb and replacing it with LED.
No more green and and in place, a nice cool white color switch in the night time.
You can also make them glow orange like an AUDI simply by removing the 'condom' green caps off these filament bulbs too, but I just took the extra step and glued some LED's in place.

Glove Box, Center Console, and Door/Window Switches
The glove box (upper and lower) and center console each have 3 chip SMD LEDs on a single circuit board that light up amber in color. These can be replaced by soldering in different color chip SMD LEDs (like super bright white). The size of these chip SMDs is 1206 (0805 will work also, but they are quite smaller than 1206). The switch light that light faint green can also be replaced by soldering new chip SMD LEDs, in which these leds are also mounted on a circuit board. The size is also 1206.
You can purchase these LEDs at lc-led.com
I have used the 0805 chip SMD LEDs super bright white at 250mcd, though the correct size is 1206.
Inner Door Handle Lights, Driver/Front Passenger Footlights, and Upper Center Console Lights (those 2 lights that shine above the shifter)
These also require soldering. The inner door handle lights and footlights use 3mm LEDs bulbs and the upper center console uses 5mm LEDs.
You can purchase these LEDs at superbrightleds.com
I have used the 3mm LED super bright white at 6000mcd, 45 degree and 5mm LED super bright white at 8000mcd, 45 degree
Garage Door Buttons and Memory Seat Buttons
These were also replaced with the same method as above using the same 3mm LED bulbs super bright white replacing the faint green LED. Each number requires its own bulb.
Upcoming Mods
If anyone is interested, I am working on changing the green and amber lights of the front driver assembly (the green light on the coin tray, switches, and such), steering wheel control lights, the lights that motohide had done, and even the climate control.

Your Tamron 28-300 will accommodate a full frame FX format camera too so I'd hold on to that.
Getting off-topic though, so I'll stop here LOL!

That was what I was looking for a while back!
