Is there anything I can do to make the eyes of the keycap glow brighter??? Thanks!

All Iron Man keycaps come coated with gold or silver inside the keycap. Silver does indeed reflect more light than gold but I cannot guarantee that you will see a considerably large difference as gold does a decent job of reflecting as well.
It may seem dim because the opening of the eyes aren't that big to begin with.
I would strongly recommend switching to a brighter LED.

Unfortunately soldering isn't an option for me so I am going to spray the inside with with a very shiny silver paint that will hopefully do a better job of reflecting the dark blue light.
