Default DRL dimming

Ok I have searched and read through various threads but they are mostly about how to replace sockets and disabling the DRLs. My concern is that my drivers side drl is dim. I can stare at it and not even squint. not the same for the passenger side. it is bright as hell. i replaced the socket a few months ago becuase it was messed up when i bought it. worked fine. now its dim. i just spent the last hour messing around with it, cleaning it, swapping bulbs, and still no luck. it still blinks and whatnot. i just want to get this sucker bright again because i like to have things uniform. any help is appreciated. thanks

well I have replaced my drivers side DRL with an OEM bulb, but now they are different shades of orange. Passenger side is a tad brighter also, no idea why.
