As the color temp increases, the actual lumens decrease. So your bulbs are "dimmer" in the truest sense of the word. To me, the stock 4100K temp doesn't "look" brightest, that's for sure. As far as I know, the "+" Philips bulbs I ordered are really the only things that are still legal, but I'm not too concerned about that. Do you have any pics comparing the stock bulbs to the 8000K?
