which bulbs are brighter?

I am not sure if this is correct, but on the headlights they are rated at a certain ####K (5000K...) well does a higher number automatically mean the bulb will be brighter? Because I had crystal hyper white's before which are 4200K and I just bought silverstars a few weeks ago which are 4000K. Did I actually buy dimmer lights? I dont know why I actually got them anyways, I heard some good things but didnt really need them...

above 4300k, you're likely to lose lumens. So don't go too high.
