They look like ballast resistors that have been caught in some over spray..

Probably dropper resistors for the heater fan.

95% sure they are resistors for the dimmed internal dash lights.

On an early car I might agree, however I thought later cars used a rheostat for the dimmer? You could be right if the dimmer is a 2-stage switch. Another obvious alternative would be ignition coil ballast.

Definately the dimmer resisters for the interior lights, same on my 400 SE

You maybe better off swapping it for a more modern variable system, that just a two stage switch.
