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....
