Question Fog Lights (Bulb)

I want to change the fog light bulb to the PIAA Super White H3 55W. Will this be a problem?

The lens assembly is one piece, but the bulb comes out of the back after releasing a clip behind rubber cover. Bulb# is: GE 50340LU and is a 12V 55W rating.

The only differance between the piaa and the IPF imofo is the name. Ive looked at both bulbs and the build seems to be identical, internally and externally (from what the naked eye can see). As far as them being bright it wasnt a drastic improvement, but it is noticable. Heat wise I honestly don't know, I never felt my lenses with the stock lights, but did so just a few minutes ago when I got home, and they werent very warm at all. I have had them in for about a month now, I just installed my apc super plasma whites in my headlights a few weeks ago (maybe 2???)......dang crs at such a young age.. anyways. I have noticed that the APC casts more of a blue tint than the IPF driving lights do, The road infront of my truck is tinted blue at night, its rather nice looking, And now that I have installed my clear corners the white beast is getting more looks everyday....still waiting on the rears though.. sometime next week (I have my fingers and toes crossed )
