You might want to get a multimeter and measure voltage at the headlight plug.Is your headlight switch getting hot?You're probably getting high resistance from corroded plugs or switch.

make sure they are ajusted right. if they are too high it will make them appear not to be bright. and if they are to low you just cant see them at all.
