I found them to be pretty disappointing as these are the third set of led h8s ive tried and none seem to illuminate the outer rings much at all.
I was walking down the street a few months ago and saw a black 135i drive past with perfect led angel eyes. Was very jelly. It must have been about mid afternoon so it was impressive to see them in decent light still well illuminated.
Have you modified yours at all?

I have actually swapped the power supplies out that drives them with a bit higher current but they arent that bright tbh.
Ultimately the light output is limited by the heatsinking of the LED, and its a small enclosed space with poor airflow. Can easily get LED chips that are bright enough but to run them at that current would require much more heat dissipation than the housing allows, unless LED efficiencies improve significantly.
