i cant believe the difference, with the same wattage, just changing the color. to my eye, thye look brighter. i know people get into the technical mumbo jumbo, with lumens, kelvin temp, wattage, etc. but to my eye, these bulbs look brighter, better and exceeded my expectations!

I like the color as well, but would you rather have better looking color or better visibility? You guys may want to read this article.
The 6000K Philips Ultinon produce 800 lumens less than OEM 4300K.
