Default 2012 IS 250 LED Interior and Exterior

First post.

Interior:
I have purchased a kit with all the interior LED's from Precision LED. Easy enough to order but some issues with quality in my opinion. Basically the trunk festoon solder came loose and had to get a new one plus some serious flicker in one of the dome festoons. Finally the front dome lights don't match exact with each other. My main issue is that during the fade up they flicker a lot. Has anyone ordered LED's that fade up smoothly?

Exterior:
I ordered Lumen's from CarId.com (they also had an interior package but was more expensive.) With the exterior can anyone tell me which oem external lights are LED already? Specifically turn signals backup lights etc.?

Thanks

VLEDs are better. I had a set from precision led and they were not as bright

I just researched what bulb sizes I have and went to DDM to pick up their LEDs, work perfect inside and out

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't mind the brightness it is the flicker while fading up or down. How badly does it flicker during the on off sequence for the brands you bought?

So exterior needs turns, backup, parking, puddles? I am use crystal vision for highs and fogs... Installing this weekend. Had zxe in my last car and hey looked nice and where about 4k to 4200k in color.

VLEDs do not flicker
