Halogen projector headlights are junk no matter what kind of bulb you put in them.

I have some LED's in my wife's halogen projectors (H11 low beams only).

I think halogen bulbs have better overall output than the LED's (and even HID's).
With LED's, the foreground light is brighter than halogen (more forground light is not a good thing) and OK light in mid distance, but low beam distance is worse than with halogen.

Would these bulbs make a deference?

in the opposite direction. Those are for signal or reverse lights. They won't put out any usable light.

Plus that's the wrong bulb type. You need 9007 for headlights.
