Is it safe to change CX-9 Headlight Bulbs?

Is it safe to replace halogen running globes with LED globes on my 20017 Touring CX -9

Globes? Do you mean headlight bulbs?

If so, then in most cases, no it is not safe to replace them directly. This is due to the voltage change when switching from halogen to LED. You'll need to do your own research to find an LED bulb that comes with resistors (either built into the bulb or wired in separately). Then you'll need to figure out if they will fit behind the headlamp assembly or if there's a place to mount the resistors (they will get very hot during use and can melt plastics, so it's advisable to mount them to a metal surface that can dissipate the heat). Try iJDMtoy.com.

Good luck.
