Dimmer headlight for my Ford Edge continuing post

As a follow up of my headlight bulb problem last week. I want to post an update using this new thread i've been writing in. So I bought some Nokya bulbs to throw in figuring they would give a little better look without dropping $100. The problem is the bulbs are still dimmer when i turned it on. I pulled the rubber cover off and made sure the little metal clamp was secure to make sure the bulb wasn't just slightly out of line or anything. That didn't help, and I'm pretty sure it's not electrical because all the connections are fine. It almost seems like there's something in the area where the bulb actually sits that may be obstructing the light. Any inputs? please...
