Why do other xenons seem brighter

I've wondered about this for a while. I recently changed my xenons under warranty. The new ones are more yellow with no flicker and brighter than the old bulbs. However, other cars seem to have much brighter xenons. Is this some sort of illusion, perhaps where one sees the scatter or light compounding with your own headlights?
Just tonight I got in front of a new Audi and was nearly blinded while the dimming mirrors adjusted. Since xenons are projector beam doesn't that mean there are no lenses? Are there mirrors? Could the mirrors be different? Do some cars xenons actually put out higher lumens?
Anyone have any comparative driving experience with other xenons?
