Try running a hot jumper directly from battery hot to the hot terminal on the
lamp. If the lamp is still dim, you have a bad ground. If the lamp lights
brightly when jumped directly to the battery, then you have resistance in the
hot supply circuit to the lamps (either in the connectors, or the switch, or
the harness itself). Since both lamps are dim, a look at the wiring diagram
should offer some clues, since whatever the problem is affects both sides. The
fault must therefore be in a place in the circuit that could affect both
sides....
