Projectors...What Bulbs?

I got them in last night and they are cool as ****. They came with bulbs but I want plasma blue.So I'm goin out to get PIAA H3 Plasma blue. Question... Is a 55w plasma PIAA any Hotter than 55w Regular H3, Dont want to burn up the housing. If you have these headlights what bulbs are you using.
Low Beam?
HighBeam?
Signal Lamp?
Running Lamp?

I'm running xenons in my projectors now, so far they look pretty good. Putting hyperwhites or anything like that doesn't show a hole lot of difference, well not in my projectors anyways. You can tell its a little whiter, but not by much.

wait ... if it takes H3 than that means you have to cut off the H4 plug adapter that came with the car and splice on a new adapter to fit an H3 bulb ... its not as simple as just putting on the projectors ... why the hell would they do that?

The back of the projector has a direct plug-in for the stock harness... NO cutting or splicing
