I reckon it’s a bit dubious adding LEDs. Better off to go with higher intensity bulbs.
1) LEDs get dimmer as they get hotter
2) In most places they don’t meet design standards for bulb type headlight reflectors, dazzling other drivers, which isn’t cool.
You can probably upgrade the whole headlight unit. Yep, likely to need a resistor or ones with it inbuilt. I know my rear top brake light that’s now LED throws a code (but no fault light). PX1.
