2016 BRZ LEDs. Your recommendation please...

My 2016 factory order BRZ should arrive hopefully in the next week or two. I would like to upgrade the existing back-up, license plate, trunk, and dome lights with DiodeDynamics LEDs. The following are sitting in my shopping cart:
Back up lights: HP36
Dome light: Cool white SMF6
License plate lights: Cool white SMD2
Trunk light: Cool white HP5
What is your opinion on these LED choices?

get this one from fteightysix.com for your dome light. bright as hell and you can adjust it if its too bright for you. pricer than the others but it gives your whole interior light. i love mine.

SuperbrightLED is one of my favorite to go to. They're LED are pretty good from what I seen and used in my car. Price is better too lol, but not super cheap like eBay or anything tho. I'd pay a little more to get a quality product since it is electrical.

also try and be careful when you install your LEDs. some people have fried their BCM by improper installation. I believe they cross grounded the terminals or something.

I've got the the full @Diode Dynamics set and am a big fan. They put out great light and the installation wasn't too bad. I got all red interior lighting and even at the brightest its a little dim, however I really like the color effect. I put white lights in the vanity mirrors and they were super bright.

Make sure you check out the Tails-as-turns module and install an extra set of back up lights. They make a HUGE difference.
