I've been using Beamtech H10 for fogs lights. Been installed 4 months. So far so good. The link below will show several options for bulb numbers from H3 to the old 4 digit numbers.
The H10 914# bulbs are Fog Lamp Bulbs with around 800 lumens of light output.
The H11 9005 bulbs are Headlamp Bulbs with around 3500 lumens = much brighter but probably little too bright for oncoming traffic ? But with the fog lamps being down low they shouldn’t shine up too high.
I’m wondering if the 9005 bulbs are doing any damage to lens or housings ?

Not sure how or why they would. They fit perfectly and produce less heat than the halogens previously installed. That said it wouldn't matter to me if they did. Going back to my previous comment my halogens actually did damage my fog light housings. Heat cracks throughout the lense and was refused warranty on them twice. So if these did cause any further damage I didnt give a crap. The lenses on these new 2017+ models are just a crappy thin plastic feel lense compared to the previous gen housing lens.
I’m wanting to LED my H/L & Fog lamp bulbs in my 16 & 19 F350’s ONLY to get the White 5000-6500k color.
i guess I’ll try the H13 & 9005 LED Bulbs & see what happens.
I have had the beamtech 9005 installed in fog lights for some time and happy with the light output compared to factory, from in cab light output appears white to me. Looking at headlight as an incoming car would it's a whitish blue color.
I installed the beamtech h13s just yesterday, bulb orientation with LEDs 3 and 9 o'clock I didnt get flashed on highway during 1hr drive but I did in city once. For the price overall I am happy. The light output is a nice white color and similar to the fog lights appears as a whitish blue color in oncoming view.
