They are for the most part, they just seem dimmer then the low beams is all. I wish the lights were better in general I guess.

...build/buy a dedicated 12ga. wire harness. Works wonders for light output, and if you combine that with an H4 style housing/bulb upgrade, you'll never go back to stock.

Are the lights installed upside down?

I had an issue like that, and when I looked at the lights, I realized the body shop installed the lights upside down!
