Here this should help. Sorry if its hard to read I had to shrink it down so it would upload. I found this on ebay and I give the owner full credit. This is in no way my work.

You have to factor in bulb quality.

it said 5000K has an approximately 3200lm output and is the color temperature closest to the sunlight. 5000K produce more than 3x the light output from the traditional halogen and is the color temperature with the most output. The light appears fairly white, and has light yellowish hue when reflected off the road similar to the OEM HID equipped vehicles. it have little bite of yellowish i though suppose to be stright up white with litte blue tint on it. man i'm confused

Thats how much aftermarket hid bulbs go for... If you want cheap quality bulbs that are going to pop, you will obviously pay less.
