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.
If they are not a higher wattage and only a higher light temperature they won't run any hotter. If they are 55 watt 4000 Kelvin, they will run at the same temperature as 55 watt 3000 Kelvin bulbs. If you move to higher watt bulbs they will run hotter and that is not recommended.
