So I took both covers off to verify that they are indeed set to the same setting (7,800K) and even rotated the bulbs but the passenger side light still looked dimmed to me but at least I was able to confirm that the bulbs were not the problem. I read somewhere that the housing that the bulbs are connected to can come loose so I started jiggling it to see if it made a difference with how bright the lights are. Eventually I tried pushing it forward a bit which I think helped fix the problem. I'm satisfied with the look now.
