Did you paint your housings? It looks to me that the black is absorbing the light and not projecting/reflecting it.

 

I think it looks kinda cool...but im sure if you just get sone different bulbs you'll be ok.

 

you need some type of chrome/mirror reflection in there to make them brighter just like your headlights..

 

Damn I'm screwed then!! I didnt paint them I bought them from someone, put them in then i realized that there is no chrome lining in there!!!! I can't afford new headlights lol

I've seen chrome spray paint before. You might want to try that with a protective clear (since I'm not certain as to how well the chrome paint will hold up against light) until you can afford new lights.

Or, if they were painted by the previous owner, you might be able to scrape, or otherwise remove the black paint.

 

....when you black out a headlight, you only paint the housings....

 

now you know why the guy sold them that chrome paint sucks....i used it on my reflector back in the day

the headlights look like they were made like that already. i got a set like that off of ebay but it has chrome on both sides (corner and headlight). i'd say return them and get your money back. i got mines for 100 shipped which isnt bad to me. they're nice and clean and very well sealed. i've had no problems so far and it's been over 8 months since i had them. plus i live in the south so there's tons of rain and i've have no leaks.
