Headlights are these. I've had the blue ones for a while now.

Verified with a light meter at 5 feet. 6700 Lux output on the LEDs in my car. Also, my prescription eyeglasses have an anti-reflective, anti-glare coating on them, so the light doesn't bother me as much as people think it does.Your bulbs do not have 6000 lumens each, despite what the box says or the seller. And quite frankly the amount of lumens a LED bulb produces is the most irrelevant feature.
You should care about the light pattern it produces and if it mimics the original halogen bulb. A bunch of foreground illumination gives the illusion your lights are "brighter" or better. And the glare it produces is also very unsafe for other drivers on the road.
Lux and lumens are not the same. So I hope you know that 6700 lux does not validate that your bulb is 6000 lumens. Your lux reading is meaningless unless it is compared directly to halogen. And while I have NO doubt the reading will be higher it still is the most irrelevant.Verified with a light meter at 5 feet. 6700 Lux output on the LEDs in my car.

The whole point of getting LEDs is because they're supposed to be brighter. I see no point in paying for the halogen-like LEDs if they're not going to be any brighter than standard Halogens. If I wanted to do something like that, I'd just get a set of Xenon-fueled Halogens like the Sylvania Silverstar zXe.Lux and lumens are not the same.

See this photo below of a Cruze headlamp. The top is a halogen bulb. The bottom two are LED. The LEDs measure significantly higher lux however the light patterns are horrific.

This photo below represents a much better LED bulb. Although it is only slightly brighter over halogen the light pattern is nearly an identical match.

Looking at the bulb you have chosen I suspect, by its design, will not produce a suitable light pattern. Any bulb utilizing a domed LED chip will distort the beam. This is what I have concluded with my testing.
