Default JDM dual halo light low beam question

Got these installed on my friend's car and the low beams are not bright at all. The high beams work fine, but the low just don't throw out much light. Is there a fix for this or is that how all halo lights are? I did a search but could not find anything specific for this problem. gracias.

The fix is HIDs. The halogen bulbs don't have enough light. Plus the brackets need to be modified to get them lights to aimied correctly.

I have them on my car and they are bright as all hell... don't know what your doing wrong.. maybe you have a bad set. And you do have to modify the bracket slightly but not much just add a spaced on the btotom bolt and your all set to put them back in. Took a bit to get them aimed right, but once i got it worked perfect.

no that is not the fix. The fix is ditching the piece of **** fog light projector they throw in those things for headlights. Retrofit a true hid projector in there and a real HID ballasts (hella, philips, ect.) and you'll solve the problem. If you don't want to spend the time or money on that ditch them and go back to stock.

Riddle me this tho? Would you go out of your way to fab your fog lights into your headlight housing? Would you simply just use your fog lights as headlights? If the answer is no then you or your friend needs to do something besides putting a ebay hid kit in there.

Whoever made those did a good job designing them, they just rip you off by putting an inferior "headlight" setup for the simple fact of looks. They know people will buy because it says "projector" and "halo" with no regaurd to quality of light output.
