55w is too hot. if you can exchange to 35w, you should do it.
If you get DDM Tuning one, the ballast came with your bulbs. I got HI/LO one so my high beam will shines higher.

What bad will come from the heat? Of the 55w and what difference does it make from our stock bulbs being 55w?

A big factor in the 55W are that on start-up they draw around 9A each.
As for the heat from them I believe that is from the ballast as HID lights are cooler then standard halogens.
