Default questions about foglights

I own a 2003 Honda Accord coupe and have recently bought a set of foglights. It came with OEM H11 bulbs, but since i had a retrofit done, i dont really think the oem bulbs would make much of a difference on the road. I was wondering if anyone can recommend me on what bulb I should buy, or should I just stick with the OEM bulbs?
I have a pair of H11 PIAA Xtra White bulbs but I don't want to use them because I read somewhere that it can burn the wires and/or the reflector housing.
Please give me some advice,
Thank you.

The PIAA Xtreme White 9005 bulbs that I had previously were standard wattage. They just have bullshit labelling on the side to indicate that they are as bright as a much higher wattage bulb (they aren't). As long as you use the same wattage bulb as it came with, there should be no damage to either housing nor wires.

Check the bulb package, it should say something retarded like
55W = 105W
Which means its a 55W bulb, and fine to use.
