You have the -  as we all have -  the VW voltage drop syndrome.

Instead of the normal magnificient 12v that the lights should receive, they only get around 10 or so.

Tis why you have dull headlights.

This is remedied with the DIY headlight loom.

Search and ye shall find.

I've always found Halfords bulbs on trade very cheap....41p for a pair of number plate lights...(and I had to pay on my card as I had no cash on me)
