The picture of the burn seem to suggest that it was the high beam bulb that did it, not the DRL bulb (which you indicated was a 5W bulb). 5W will not likely do that unless it happens to touch the reflector.

Ok as the tittle says. I am planning to convert halogen bulbs in tail, turn signal and reverse light to led bulb.

Flösser power-rates their bulb at 13.5v rather than 12.0v. For any/all filament bulbs, the wattage rises exponentially to the power 1.6 with voltage increase. So a bulb rated 65w at 12.0v will be rated 78.5w (printed as 80w) at 13.5v. It's not two different bulbs, just two different test protocols.

Looking for some guidance and answering of some questions. Im retrofitting a buddies pair of LR3 headlights. Ive only ever done a 2 headlights before, a ford fus

Same deal here. Run-of-the-mill 9011 bulb versus highly optimized 9011 bulb. Some people said that the Philips 9011 is basically a "boosted" 9005 bulb, and it does look like it here. The 9011 bulb has visible gaps between the turns. The Toshiba bulb's filament is a little wavy. But it appears to be as similarly dense as the new Sylvania 9011's ...
