4D Halo LED DRL projectors
I bought a 2007 bmw 328i last week and as soon as I got home I realized my headlights were extremely dim. I am very confused because the top lighting on the headlights is working but the eyes are too dim to use the headlights at all. Any suggestions on what to try or a good bmw mechanic in the San Diego area?

It's either an electrical problem or very likely that the bulbs have never been replaced. Have you tried pulling codes from the FRM (module that controls lights/windows)? If you want to try replacing bulbs, the Osram CBI/CBH/CBB are fairly expensive but worth it.

Do you have a picture of the headlights during the day or with your camera flash on? Just based on those pictures, they look a lot like aftermarket replacements and not the OEM modules

Yes, they are aftermarket headlights. I'll attach some pics with the flash on if that helps
