Actually, stock bulbs are the brightest bulbs out there unless you upgrade to 55W bulbs and ballasts.

As you go up the Kelvin scale, you lose output (lumens). I believe the stock bulbs are rated at about 3100-3400 lumens. Typical 6000K bulbs are rated at about 2400-2600 lumens. Thats about a 20% or so drop in output.

It is not brighter however, you may think it is due to the more obvious contrast in color.

Yes, if you want to go with 6000K bulbs, then just change out the bulbs.
