First, know this basic principal with Xenon lighting. The HIGHER the Kelvin (color), the LOWER the Lumen output. This is because the human eye is less sensitive to Blue and has a harder time seeing it.
So a 11000 Lumen output at 6000K (as the above states) is dimmer to the human eye than a 4000K output.
But let’s look at that 11000 Lumen output claim.
Google 11000 Lumen Xenon and see the results you get for Car Headlights.
Yes, there are 11000 Lumen Xenons for other uses, but the only 11000 Lumen output Xenon Headlights are the Amazon ad in question and similar eBay listings
So, the only 11000 Lumen Xenon Headlights in the known universe are made by some unknown Company that cannot be found via Google. Only these ads.
And read the power required for some of the projector 11000 Lumen bulbs. 3x, 4x even 5x the 55 Watts the Amazon product claims.
So are we to believe that all the name brand Xenon Companies can only produce Xenons at 3500 Lumens at 35 Watts while a unknown mystery company can produce 11000 Lumens at 55 Watts?
Wouldn’t the majors have bought the unknown out with that kind of “advanced technology”?
Now, we all know that LEDs uses far less wattage than bulb based systems, so riddle me this.
How can a legit company (CREE) led Headlight produce 12000 Lumens at 75W, while an unknown Xenon bulb can produce 11000 Lumens at 55W?
And how can Philips only get 8000 Lumens at 50 Watts IN AN LED while an unknown Xenon bulb can produce 11000 Lumens at 55W?
Seeing the Bullshit claims yet?
Bottom line, I’d still buy the Philips kits that are made in China and imported into USA for resale than the so called claims of that Amazon Company with technology 3x superior to what anyone else on the planet claims to have.

Simple. 5400 lumens per bulb as described in tech specs - they are fudging 200 lumens by rounding to 11k - is that the other side of internet bullshit you are refering to? Who cares what you 'would' buy - you would buy this exact kit for 4x if it had a fake label with sylvania or osram on it. The fact is you dont know either way when buying online, so you might as well get a deal...
