LED bulbs of the correct type/size. 9007 is what I believe you have.

And make sure they have resistors. Usually they come built with the LED bulbs.

Only if you are replacing the turn signals yes, you will need them. Headlight bulbs don't need resisters.

Make sure you get high lumens (I have 12,000 LM). The human eye doesn't do as well with 6000K white light as it does with yellow. So buy high lumen and make sure you adjust them so they're not blinding people.

Amazon Amazon

I put these in a few weeks ago and love them so far. Had an issue with the driver side flickering and flashing "lamp out" when switching from Hi beam to low and message the seller and they sent me plugin decoders for free that fixed the problem.
Look good with matching fogs (9006) and really light up the road alot better than the halogens!
