Yeah you did something COMPLETELY wrong, because no one with a proper retrofit "hates" it. If you used the same ballasts and same brand bulbs, that alone should increase output because all the scattered light in stock housings is now focused on the road. If you used non-clear lens projectors from another car, THEN maybe your output would suck, but if you used the Morimoto Minis and the bulbs that came with... well you're doing something wrong, or you're insane.
Btw, it has to be DARK for headlights to work. >_>
