Rear reversing lights
Interior overhead lights, but not the map-reading ones.
Front fogs (cosmetic)

I find them just right, but then I don't need to reverse any significant distance in a really dark area. I'll see how they are when I manage to fit my reversing camera.
As for LED applications I've done all the above EXCEPT the front fogs as yellower light actually penetrates fog better and the "cosmetic" element seems irrelevant on a foggy day - better safe than pretty! And I've done all the map-reading bulbs too and the footwell lights, door puddle lights and glovebox and boot lights.
Off hand I think the only filament bulbs left are the indicators, brake lights, rear numberplate, red door open warnings and front/rear fogs.
But there are so many bulbs in these cars I've probably overlooked some!
