Will new headlights/foglights cause problems?

Will new "Cool Blue" headlights cause any power problems in my 87 GTA?
Im also looking into "Cool Blue" Foglights, will running a set of these along with a new set of headlights effect anything?

Also, how much brighter are LED lights compared to the stock parking and side marker lights? Im looking into replacing these, because new bulbs from Autozone are no brighter then the stock ones, do LED's produce more light, or what?

Sorry, new to electrical stuff.

no they wont cause any charging system problems. they are more just a change in color rather than brighter light. they still help though. make sure you check the alignment of your headlights first before replacing them because that could be your problem. Those fog lamps may annoy people but shouldnt cause any charging problems. this is assuming your car is running properly.

i dont think one LED would be sufficient for the side marker lights, ive never seen these in stores though. is it an LED that plugs in place of the standard bulb? this doesnt make much sense to me.... LEDs are brighter and use less energy than standard bulbs...but they are smaller and you will need many of them to create the same effect

you dont want the side or parking lights to be brighter, they look fine stock IMO, it will look goofy if they are too bright
