That's just the way they are designed, they aren't designed to be bright, there for taxiways not runways. Bright lights would blind other pilots passing on other taxiways. If they don't give enough light to taxi, probably just a glitch in the program. There used to be a file that would change the lights in FS 2004 but I don't know if they have one for FSX, search AVSIM.
