Interior light upgrade to LED

Here is a cheap and nice upgrade that i did a couple months ago.

Changed all the old light bulbs to 8000k T10 Leds.

Nice, I just ordered a bunch of polarg m4s to do the complete interior. Never tried them before but a set of 14 came out to less than half per bulb of cree/canbus error free LEDs. I hope they come out this nice and aren't too old school all the polarg LED comparison threads on the forum date back from '08-'10.

Do you have any flickering with these, do they auto shut off, can the footwells dim like designed to with them? My heart wants an LED interior.

I have tried 3 different leds but these are the only ones that do not flicker and they dim just like they are supposed to do.

I even have em for my license plate putting up pics tomorrow.

Are they dimmable do you think? I like the fade in/out that incandescent dome/interior lights offer.
