David, I suspect most people are using the phrase 'dim lighting' to mean poor lighting on the road; not actual dim lights as in bulbs that are not getting enough juice and looking dim when you look at the headlight. On my 90 I went through the trouble of measuring the voltage and doing the calculations and there wasn't enough drop to justify new wiring and relays.... Installing E-Codes with H-4 bulbs did the trick with stock wiring. The problem with the rectangular headlights is simply the design of the reflector... it wastes about half of the lumens by dispersing the into the night and not putting them on the road... The E-Codes take about the same number of lumens and put them on on the road where you need the... In addition the sharp cut off of the E-Code design keeps light from being reflected back into your face by rain, snow, etc. Bill
