Unhappy Dim Headlights!

I too have dim headlights. My problem is due to the fact of low voltage. When I turn on my headlights and check the voltage (at the wiring harness on the firewall) at either low beam #142 or high beam #144 wires, it is only 10 1/2 to 11 volts max. Yet at the relays under the dash I have a full 12(+) volts. So, my source is a good, proper voltage, yet my target (headlights) is low. I've checked and reran all grounds, and have no other "low voltage problems". Cannot find any loose or "barely making contact" connections. I've spoken with another "Club Cobra" member who was able to help me out with some other wiring problems. If I can't find my cause of low voltage, I'll probably use the wiring plan that John said he used.
