Need suggestions on interior LED upgrade

I plan to upgrade all of my interior lights to LED. I know some of the light does fade in and fade out. If I purchased poor quality LED, they will flicker during the fade in/out stage. Anyone has experience on interior LED upgrade? Where did you buy the LED from?

Amazon.com: 194 LED Light bulb, Yorkim® 6th Generation,12V Lights for 168, 2825,T10 5-SMD LED Bulb, Replacement and Reverse White Bulbs,Used For Signal Lights, Trunk Lights, Dashboard Lights, Parking Lights, With Great Brightness and Longer Life(Pack of 10): Automotive

I managed to replace all 17 light bulbs and the result is amazing. I gotta say I am completely satisfied with that price tag.
4x map lights
2x dome lights
2x foot lights
2x courtesy lights
2x vanity mirror lights
2x mirror puddle lights
2x reverse lights
1x trunk light

I actually regret after I disassembled the 1st rear view mirror. I think I will have the dealer replace it for me next time.

I'm glad I chickened out on doing the puddle lights...my only tweak to what you did was to get a brighter LED for the trunk light.

I just go cheap and these are good enough for me. I am surprised that these bulbs can even fit into the reverse light socket.

I have not read through all the LED threads yet, but I have always had great experiences with the LEDs from superbrightleds.com I've purchased many from them and not one failure and the quality is really good. No flickering, very bright. I've had cheaper ones in the past but it wasnt worth the effort as they started going bad I was needing to swap them out. I buy LEDs for all my vehicles these days,
