For a single bulb, that seems high. Maybe they are talking about both bulbs. Anyway, most 35 watt HID bulbs of a given color temperature are going to put out similar lumens. The only way to go higher would be to step up to higher wattage. Their note that the "white" color temp gives the most useful light is correct -- even though some people think that bluish lights are better.
in any case, you should look at this page if considering an aftermarket HID kit:

I've wondered this- do our headlights appear blueish from headon, or have the rx8's ive seen on the road had their bulbs switched out? Up close they look regular white.

Color temperature is very relative. Normal tungsten and halogen bulbs burn at about 3000K. That color temperature is actually VERY yellow. "Pure" white 5000K-6500K sources next to 3000K sources always look blue.
If you have any daylight flourescent bulbs at home you can do a little trick to see what I mean. Turn on a tungsten bulb first then a the flourescent. The colors will shift as turn the lights on and off in your mind.
