LED Upgrade

Hey,
My right side headlight's connection terminal broke off,


so we're considering an upgrade to LEDs. I wanted to maintain the white color throughout so we're changing every yellow halogen on the outside.
These are the ones I've decided on :
H13 36W-36W


H11 (Fog Lights)


License Plate


Reverse Lights


Are 36W headlight bulbs okay?
Will they be bright enough?
And will I need anything other than just the bulb for the conversion?

Regards,
Allen P

Ok, can I use something other than 9140 - I couldn't find them.
Also, do I have to be worried about "flashes" or "flickers" because I'm not getting one of those conversion kits or resistors?
P. S I'm not changing the turn signal lights

The fast flashing is in the turn signals.
I ordered H11 for my 2011 2LT they do not fit! The wire connector are different, and the mounting hole size is larger.
Google LED 9140 bulbs. I found a pair on Amazon.CA

Aliexpress has me searching, and the fog lights are the only ones remaining.
These say H11 but are shaped like the 9140s

I know they are to large in diameter we’re they go into the fog light body and the 9140 wiring connector is different from the H11 connector.

If H10 = 9140, then yes they will.
Do your homework.
If not then you will have to return them or carry the loss.

That was easily said.
