Alternatively, if they look much less bright, you could have not screwed the bulb in all the way when placing it into the headlight opening. If it isn't all the way in, the light won't correctly follow the tract of the corona rings, and they won't appear as well lit.
Well Yes and no to your reason by why they will be less bright. The reason they are less bright is because they are basically the same filament producing the light. the GPThunder bulbs have a blue coating on the bulb which filters out much of the yellow light leaving you with a cooler color light. The overall amount of is less because a lot of the wavelengths are being blocked

But yes the LUX H8 V3 will be a very good option if you are looking for something better
