Hi __?__,
I wouldn't take seriously the specs for lumens by the LED merchants.
The specs are from the sales department and NOT engineers.
For instance, your 12000 lumen set may be the total for both lamps
and high and low beams? 3000 lumens per high and low beam X2.
The real data sheets for these products are tucked away somewhere.
How to measure current flow (different options) see these posts.
This is very handy for troubleshooting.

I made a plug out of a dead ATC fuse to make it handy to measure current flow at fuse sockets with my VOM and was limited to 10 amps max.
Later used the plug with a 50 amp analog ammeter/shunt found at ebay for about $15.
I'll update that post to show how easy it is to do.
Where in the Northeast are you? I'm near Boston.
