Why would the lenses make them brighter or duller? Stick with stock, the look best on 98+ DC, IMO

Stock are of much more quality construction than any aftermarket ones, fit better and seem brighter. Hit your stockers w/ some rubbing polish ( 3m swirl/scratch mark remover) if they are dull looking. Also, have you checked your wire harness for signs of corrosion? That could cause the lights to noticeably dim.

Take the bulb out of the harness and look for green corrosion on the contact. A wire brush should take care of it, if not they're like 12 bucks from the dealer.
