So i've narrowed it down to 3 options and they all vary in price and the number of LED's in the pack. I'm leaning towards JDM Astar simply because it's so cost effective. The Precision LED is nice because they're the newer and brighter 5730 bulbs and they offer a complete set but it's ridiculously expensive.

Ultimately the pics for each option appear to look just as good as each other. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also, in another thread someone recommended the following LED types for each of the lights. How important is it to get the right LED type? In my research it's pretty hard to get decent quality LED's according the the orientation below. All 3 options appear to be 360.
Front dome- 3x straight down bulbs (or 360 but I think the straight bulbs will project light better)
Rear dome- 3x straight down bulbs (or 360 same as above^)
Footwell- 2x straight down bulbs (1 on each side sit vertically)
Visor mirrors- 2x flank (bulb sits horizontally)
Mirror puddle lights- 2x flank
Door panel lights- 2x flank
Trunk- 1x flank bulb (bulb sits horizontally)

Astar is fine. Go with Amazon for the interior.

I prefer vleds for exterior bulbs (reverse lights 921 and mirror puddle lights 194).

I have a bunch of cheap LEDs from Amazon in my interior and trunk. Was less than 20 bucks, and still looks good, with decent light output

I've decided to get 2 x set of 10 lights from Astar for the interior, trunk and puddle lights.

And these ones for the reverse lights.

Do you think they're bright enough for the puddle lights? Just to clarify do the trunk light, puddle lights, all interior lights need the same 194 bulbs?

For what it's worth, the "peanut" bulbs as they call it, I replaced all of them with this:
eBay item number: 221904110120

$3 CDN shipped for 10. Beware, that you'll have 3-4 defective ones in the batch, but at that price, you can't complain. They were on my CT200h for 2 years with zero issues and now in my IS 200T.

Looking for puddle light light bulbs, the ones i changed to are the philips T10 white bulbs. They are bright, but i would like them to be brighter, like floodlight bright. Any recommendations?

I have the Precision kit and replaced everything but my trunk lights (I thought I was going to go a different route with trunk lighting). While the price is quite expensive the quality and brightness is great. Install was super easy too with their "tools" that they include. I made sure to watch their install video also.....not because I don't know how to replace bulbs but I wanted to make sure I didn't damage any pieces while removing them lol.

For trunk light, i highly recommend . This is 600 lumens and has the correct fit adapter for our trunk. Installation is a breeze and it is extremely bright. I am looking for puddle lights that are 600lumens, but for this kind of brightness, the bulb would have been too big to fit inside the side mirror housing. Still searching.....

Common complaints i saw on amazon was that these jdm astar bulbs flicker after barely a few months?

Where did you pick these up from? There are different brands, and I'd rather go with one that another member recommends using!
