Daytime running lights are done through halogen bulbs and involve only lighting up the round halo rings. Headlights are through a xenon bulb (for certain specs, looks like including yours?).
The halos usually have one ring brighter than the other on each side - just how it is for our older cars.
If your xenon headlights are actually dimmer on one side, I'd start with replacing the bulb itself. They lose brightness over time. I don't think FRM refurb will help you here - all it does is send a signal. There are ballasts (igniters) for the bulbs, and if the bulb itself doesn't help, that might be something to research next. Although I'm not sure how frequently they go bad.

Appreciate the response!
I might be confused as well; I think the previous owner coded the angel eyes to be on at all times (which is why I assumed DRLs).
Tried switching ballasts & bulbs but same side stayed dim. Replaced engine ground strap as well as I heard that could've been the issue. Found that there were two straps there for some reason.
But I think the options now would be:
- Bulb is offset & not hitting the angel eye ring properly
- FRM
- Say f it & get new headlights
