Thanks man! Yeah, I was looking for some LEDs that were of decent quality and was willing to pay a little more for them, versus getting the cheap crap ones that you'd eventually replace after a week or two (even though you get a ton of them). The LEDs I installed are the
JDM ASTARS JDM ASTARS
from Amazon... I've been debating which to get and after reading through reviews and these threads, I ended up getting the ASTARS. They come in a pack of 10 and each of the lights have 3 LEDs in them. If you want a lot brighter of an interior, get the ones that have more LEDs in each bulb. I replaced 13 bulbs in total, so I ordered 2 packs - replaced the vanity, trunk, front overhead, rear overhead, and footwell lights. My door lights I got separately from a guy in a Lexus Facebook group - they are crisp and awesome looking.

To me, the ASTARS bulbs I got produce enough pure white light that's not in-your-face blinding - much better than stock and looks OEM as it should have been from the start lol.

Here are some more photos at night:

Looks awesome and now I would like to do exchange on my 2018 IS300 AWD F-sport.
How they have been running last few months? Any flickering or any other issues?
Amazon link doesn't work anywhere. Can you provide the link again and/or JDM P/N?
In regards to projector lights, where and what is the P/N?

TIA

It's been a good 6 months for my interior LEDs in addition to my door projector lights. So far so good. I did have one interior dome light flicker to the point where it was annoying, so replaced that one with another bulb - no issues now and all other bulbs still working as when I first installed them.

These are the lights I have from Amazon, just make sure to purchase 2 bags since I think they come in packs of 10 (and you have 13 interior bulbs minus the 2 side mirror ones which I did not change out). Here's the link:

As for the door projectors, I got them from someone on Instagram... I forget his name, but was pretty fair in price and they're of decent quality. I'd refrain from buying the ones on eBay, as most of them are poor quality and have a crappy plastic film that over time wears out quick so the image projected doesn't become crisp/sharp anymore. The projectors I have are glass.

Hope this helps!
