GP Thunder scare

So last night I decided to install a new set of GP Thunders. They came in new packaging that stated they are 35w but are as strong as 50w? This was not on the old box. So I installed them as usual and noticed they fit very loose in the H8 mounts, but I proceeded and they appeared to function properly. An hour or so later I went outside and hit the unlock button. The interior lights and door handle lights turned on but the angel eyes didn't. I started that car and it said that the right parking light was out. Sure enough I looked and it was out. I assumed the new bulb just burnt out, so I grabbed the factory yellow bulbs and put them in. The right side still would not turn on. I put another factory bulb and it still wouldn't turn on. Finally after starting and shutting down the car for a third time I got out and looked at the angel eyes. They were glowing EXTREMELY bright. Much brighter then the standard yellow, they literally lit up my whole garage like there was much more wattage going through them. I shut the car down again and they both are turned on now, standard brightness. So I am sticking with the stockers for now. That was an odd experience and I think there is definitely some issue with wattage on the GP Thunders. Not to mention the color really does not look high quality like a true led and is barely visible during the day.
