Those are actually about 4300k, and are more yellow than the stock bulbs, which are 85122. The 85122+ are not color match, they are the ones that resist color shifting longer, and stay yellower longer. They are, however, brighter than the stock 85122 bulbs. Make sense? I owned the stock bulbs, and bought he ones you're selling, so this is first hand info.

Sorry, just thought I'd clarify.

Something like that, but the stock (85122) color shifts after about 15-30 hours to about 4700-5000k. After a really long time, they shift to even higher. The higher the shift, the less lumens the bulb puts out.

The 85122+ resists color shifting, and stays at about 4300 or so, and looses very few lumens. In a way its better, if you dont mind the yellowish tint. Its still much whiter than halogen. A 85122 and 85122+ look about the same when new.

The 85122cm is the colormatch (5000k), which is meant for matching a used 85122.

NP, its a common mistake due to many many mislabeled websites. I bought them thinking the same thing... 5000k... but nope, they are pretty yellow. Im not sure why so many retailer sites who sell these think they are 5000k. Oh well...
