Thank you for your reply and please excuse the iPhone autcorrect of some of the words.

So by replacing the bulbs to a higher "rating" so to speak will make the light whiter. I get that. Will these higher rated bulbs run "hotter" or cause any potential malfunction. I understand they wont last as long, but as long as there is no harm, there is no problem.

thanks.
