You have to use 9005/HB3 bulbs, they are not the same as H3.
Any "colored" halogen bulb uses a filter to make the light a color other than the original shade of white. These filters block some light to create the color, so they are not technically as bright as they could be, but it's minimal.
If you want brighter lights, you can use up-wattage bulbs. Typically the Evo low beams (9006 bulbs) are 55w, but you can buy 80w replacement bulbs. They will not last as long. (we're talking halogen of course here, not HIDs) The high beam bulbs (9005) are typically 65w, but you can upgrade to 100w.
I get my bulbs for our bikes and cars at www.rallylights.com and they have all of those mentioned.

I have the blue-ish up-wattage bulbs in my high beams, so they look a little funky too when off.
