Doesnt the 12k put out a lot less light than say the 4300 or 6000k bulbs?

yes. significantly--not to mention the toll it'll take on your eyes since everything you see is "tinted" with color.

4100/4300K bulbs are the ones that put out the most light, bar none. 12000K bulbs are literally hundreds of lumens behind (not to mention prone to failure a lot faster)

LOL, 80k...
What do you guys think about 6k? I think that looks good too..
I'm keep leaning towards 4k for the maximum brightness and stock look, I can't decide!!
