Default led interior bulbs flickering/strobing

Anyone experiencing flickering/strobing after replacing interior bulbs with leds? Bought a kit on ebay for my 08 e60 that's canbus error free which is true, no errors popped-up but when I start my car the lights specially the ones on the footwells flicker for about a second or two. I understand the car sends these signals to check for a burned-out bulb, is it that the bulbs are of bad quality or maybe my battery is weak?

That flickering is NOT due to low/bad battery. One way to avoid that flickering is via coding (not to check for burned out bulbs).
