these are the ones I am using and have worked perfectly since I installed them in the beginning of July
I have my fogs set as DRLs so they are always one when the car is running

no, none at all. I feel no heat at all when they are on. The reason I went with LEDs rather than the H7 that is standard is that they are on all the time and didn't want a heat problem
The wattage refers to the current draw and with LEDs, the heat output is far less per watt than with an incandescent, or halogen lamp

oh ok, I guess they don't make a led h7 suitable for low beam use ? I would love to have the headlights matching to the fogs for color temp

there are some LED low beam / high brightness lamps available. There was a thread recently about them. They have fans on the back, so they must be running fairly hot. Apparently the fans are pretty cheap fans and there was a concern on reliability of the fan, sort of like the IMSB LOL
the consensus was :
not ready for prime time
YMMV
I wish they were more proven, I would like to use them as well
