As a matter of fact, if the instrument lighting was switched on you would not see these lights so bright, there would be dimmed to bring them more in range with the cockpit lighting, in order to avoid blinding...
This dimming feature is a well known IFR practical test trap: if for some reason you have your instrument lighting switched on in daylight, the dimming of the undercarriage lights will make them unnoticeable even if the U/C is up...the tester will not forget that one!
