I will try a relay, but i dont see how it will help since the lights are not causing the issue, the amps are.

A relay harness well pull power directly from the battery then to the headlights with much bigger gauge wiring.

Its like a "big 3" for your headlights.

I understand that, but the voltage drop will still occur and i think i will still see dimming. Like i said, i have an extra relay, i will try. But i have my reservations. If it work i will come back here and admit i was wrong.

If you are pulling down that much, you might want to consider checking your batteries to see if one of them is trying to die.

You may see good voltage, but one may be bandading the other ... In return, draw more current.

I only drop a volt a worst. But that is really noticeable at night. I just don't want any dimming at all. Barteries are good as far as I can tell. Both rest at 12.9
