I'm not really sure how you concluded that those are brighter than the OEM bulbs when clearly from your own comparison pics such as this one
you can see that the OEM bulb illuminated more area than your new bulb. The light output on the OEM bulb extends ~2-3" below the 6k bulb and has a larger overall radius of coverage. What you are seeing as "brighter" is the added contrast that tricks many people into believing they have better output like when people who use coated halogen bulbs claim better output. Color looks decent though, I just don't believe your other claims.

Okay... I guess I'm promoting a companies product because A -- Excellent Product, and B -- Excellent Service.

But yes.. You are right. An upgrade to 6000k over 4300k typically does produce less visibility. Good thing is that it isn't noticable at all on the road.

Thanks for the information.
