How bright they look depends on the exposure settings of the camera that took the picture. They can be made to look arbitrarily bright (or arbitrarily dim) depending on these settings.

For this reason, there's simply no meaningful way to judge the brightness by the picture, unless the picture was taken under carefully pre-determined standardized and fixed exposure settings. Alternatively, a picture can be used to compare two lights if both lights are present in the same picture simultaneously.

Neither is the case in the above picture. So, the fact that that these lights "look brighter" in the picture does not really mean anything at all.
