    It's all relative. I have 20/20 vision and when riding in my friend's sti with 10000k I can see great, and def way better than any halogen setup. It's true my 8000k's are brighter, but the 10000k looks so much better. It's all about how you want to customize your car.

    And 12000 puts out less lumens than 10000k....

    And I drive with glasses that make me close to 20/20. The bright colors still cause eye fatigue and put out less light every step you go up...

    5k and 6k have the most output and it is OBVIOUS you are running HIDs and not just bulbs. So why run super crazy colors?

    to be different. Most cars have halogen lights. Even less cars have HID's. And even less have bright BLUE HID's. But like I said, it's all about how you want to customize your car. I personally did the HID setup ion my car origianally for looks, but the best thing about them is how much they greatly increase vision.
