I have found the main reason for bad light output is voltage drop due to bad connections or old corroded wiring.
I have made a simple animation to show you how to get good voltage at your lights ( or even another accessory on your car ) by using a relay with an inline fuse and good copper wire for your relay and your ground.
It is much easier doing it this way than trying to replace the original wiring.
