Will all LEDs cause any electrical shortages ?
I want to change all of these bulbs to LEDs, they were white LEDs in the GS i had and it looked awesome. The yellow light makes me feel like I'm in a 1960s submarine. I wanted to change all of these to LED:
- 3 of the small bulbs within the main interior lights, 1 left, 1 right and 1 for the door open light
- both front door lights swapped with Lexus logo projection LEDs
- both reverse lights
- both puddle lights
* and maybe LED fog lights, maybe*
would this cause any type of problem to anything ?

I tried the same thing in my Honda odyssey van - and it blew the fuse. After 8-9 fuses and countless hrs of research I tried this and it helped.
Change one bulb at a time. If the bulb does not work - take it out and flip the terminals- led lights have a positive and negative polarity.
Also don't go for the super high amps - as they can blow the fuse.
Hope this helps..

No issues at all with interior lights and puddle lamps, I changed all the bulbs to white LEDs. Better to get bulbs with LEDs facing downwards and around the bulb body.

I haven't done reverse or signal lights yet. The signals will require a LED adapter/resistor to prevent hyperflashing because the body computer doesn't like the low resistance most LEDs have.

Any LED in T10/194 wedge fitting will work. I would go for 4500 K color temperature, it's a nice match for stock HIDs and it doesn't make the interior look cold. 6000 K can make the interior feel sterile especially with dark seats.

I changed all interior lights, trunk, and turn signals to white LED's. They look beautiful. You can buy the T10 for the interior on Ebay, 10 for $10.00. They are easy to replace - just pop off the lens cover - and you'll be finished in 30 minutes. Did this 2 years ago and zero issues... The kit you show looks like a good deal.
