Default Headlight conversion question

I have some headlights bulbs lying around- Hella h13 u blue (12v 60/55W) with a 3 prong connector, and Hella HB4 U Blue (it says 12v 51w AND 12.8v 55w 9006) with 2 prongs. So aside from the trans am using sealed beams what would I have to do to get either of these to work? The 3 prongs on the h13 confuses me. Anyone?

I guess I'll get this started, First off, the 3 pronged one is known as an "H4" (9003) type bulb usually Xenon filled Halogen bulbs. Secondly, to do the conversion, you need to swap out your sealed beams with regular housings with the sockets cut out so you can just swap bulbs....
Visit Here where I got mine from. I gave them my car info and they sent me out the one I needed. Mine are H4's, but I just ordered an 8000k HID kit. It's not that hard to swap out, though people will tell you to go the Retroing Projectors route, though its up to you!

If you need some pics, let me know.
