Well done! Do you have a parts list that you can share for others? I have a '16 and I'd consider doing this.

- Front turn signals and back you would need to buy 2 orders

Wow, for just under $150 total, this is a really cool customization - especially the door logo lights! Thanks for the parts list -> just ordered a set

Just received and installed the turn signal bulbs - the front work great but the rears appear to give the car an intermittent rapid flash. The bulbs advertise they have built in resistors, which I don't doubt, but it seems not enough resistance for the tails.

Just thought I'd update!

Damn that sucks you can probably hit up amazon for a replacement cause mine don’t have hyper flashing but I have notice if the lights are on for couple mins straight they will over heat and hyperflash

Ahh that's probably what's going on. Because ya it's intermittent, but after removing just the tails and leaving the front's it stopped hyper-flashing.

The Amazon compatibility check says the interior lights are not compatible with the 2018 IS and the description for the door logo lights say IS 2006 through 2015, just ignore those warnings?

Yup, most of those compatibility things are never updated after they are set

I installed the interior LED lights there without issue, and the door logo lights - I only needed one set as my car doesn't have lights on the rears, so check yours first!

don't forget to replace the lights for the foot wells, the trunk and the external side mirrors...all use the same bulbs. I did it on mine.
I will leave the turn signals as it since those will wear the most and cost almost nothing to replace and really with the diffuser they look as if they are LED so no point and no worries about heat causing hyper flashing.

I was able to replace all 4 turn signal bulbs with LED ones without resistors. Looks so much better imo than normal halogen bulbs.
