Yup, will be the bulbs. A lot of the cheaper ones use normal halogen filaments for the high beam. Ones I have use one xenon filament with a reflector that moves so more light is reflected out for high beam.

It might be the power of the bulbs the higher the K is the whiter the light output.
I've got 6000k and there a bright white output

the higher the k doesnt mean how white they are

they are usually the whitest around 4300k after that they become more blue
