Re: led headlights
They will fit. I replaced the interior lamps, headlamps, fog lamps, license plate bulbs, and reverse lamps with LEDs on our 2017 shortly after buying it last February. You will want to make sure that the heat sink for the bulb is not bulky enough to make the overall length of the bulb longer. I used the Sealight brand from Amazon, because the product description had pictures that confirmed the length was the same as the halogen bulbs. The owner's manual will have the correct bulb numbers listed in it.

Re: led headlights
Yes it was. Everything fit inside the headlamp housing behind the dust cover. I'll try to send a couple of pictures when I get to the house.

Re: led headlights
I like the result. There's a marked improvement of vision at night. Note the strong cut-off line for the low beam - that's mostly a function of the projector headlamp, though. No one has complained of glare yet (by flashing their high beams at me). I don't have an issue with it in the reflector headlamps on our other vehicles, either, so you should be okay. I took pictures from inside and several from the outside, too. I uploaded low- and high-beam views for both bulb types from the inside. I only uploaded the one from the outside with LED high beams on, because there appears to be a five-picture limit. I do not have any pictures of the bulb inside the assembly, since I changed my bulbs with the vehicle on the ground and couldn't get a camera in position to get a good picture. Edit: I forgot to mention that our Equinox uses an H11 for low beam and 9005 for high beam. I think it's the same for yours.
