There is no harm. LED’s produce less heat than HID or the halogen you are replacing. Lumens does not equal heat. They way you produce light determines the heat (like electrical resistance heating a tungsten coiled wire = hot, or extremely high voltage spark jumping a gap through a gas to create a plasma = hot).

None of the OEMs are using HID headlight technology anymore, which means they consider it outdated technology. Every new lighting design that I know of is LED or laser technology.

High is 9005 standard on the 2008 to 2015 LX, until the 2016 which is 100% LED except for the backup lights.
Fogs are H11 from 2008 to 2015.
