Bingo.It's not the bulbs that are the problem, it's the reflector.
The reason the DayMaker works so well is because as a capsule you are buying an LED bulb & a reflector that are designed to work together. LED is not only brighter, it distributes its light different thus, you will never achieve optimum results placing an LED bulb in an Incandescent reflector.
I currently struggle with this. Choosing style over function, I'm sticking with my wolf headlight, and just accepting less than stellar performance.
