I want to replace the stock low ran halogen h7 and found some brighter h7 that are 3400 and 4000 heat signature. I believe they are still 55watt but the higher heat signature the brighter they are. Is this correct?
Will a brighter bulb cause any undue stress on the electrical system? I really don't want to get into electrical issues.
Stock oem lights are maybe ten bucks each so to upgrade to about fifty amour for a brighter bulb is inexpensive enough.
Anyone have a recommendation? The bulbs are old and I just relaxed a turn signal so it got me thinking which is dangerous enough. Not interested in converting to xenon.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Actually, brightness is a perception, not an actual quantifiable thing. " "brightness" should now be used only for non-quantitative references to physiological sensations and perceptions of light."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness
The higher the light temperature the "whiter" the light. If you want more light you need more lumens. This usually equates to higher wattage. Replacing a 55w, 3000K bulb with a 55w, 5000K bulb may increase the perception of more light, but it generally doesn't provide more lumens.
