I agree with Yetiman. After spending countless hours trying to trace down the way my car was wired when I bought it and just going in circles, I found the main headlight lead from the dimmer switch and bought a new relay at NAPA, which I installed and wired battery straight through it so that one way it is on high bean and the other way low beam. Made a huge improvement. The relay operates from the light switch and I have the low beam lead on one set of contacts and the high beam on another. That way the low/high beam switch puts battery on the correct lead to the lights. Also make sure that you have good headlights to start with as some aren't all that great.
