It looks brighter but it looks like it causes more glare. You should back the car up and take a picture from a bit further back.

Take a look at this and draw some inspiration. A guy did this to his Supra and it came out nice

There's another one where the guy modded his OEM Supra projectors and put a kit in there and it came out nice. Looked like Valeo H7 ECE which is nice only he didn't have the high step associated with them. I'll look for that one later
