Default Upgrade high beam to aftermarket LED bulb?

I am considering upgrade the high beam on my 2018 to aftermarket LED bulb. Anyone did this?

1. which LED brand do you recommend? I prefer one that has the longest throw.
2. do we need canceller or anti-flicker to avoid error message?
3. anyone purchased XenonPro's 45w H9 LED kit? https://www.xenonpro.com/h9-high-bea...headlights-kit
4. does yellow LED light result better contrast or white?

Thank you!

I replaced them with some bulbs on Amazon (C6) and it's been good so far. They are bright really lit up the road well. I drive on some mountain roads for a couple of weeks ago and they were really great.
I turned off Daylight though since they are always at full power.
These are the ones I got

I posted some pics here but couldn't find the thread.

Edit: The LEDs need to align the bulbs square up with the housing in order for optimal throw and brightness. I couldn't do it initially but after some twists and turns I was able to line them up pretty good
