headlights very dim (help)

headlights very dim (help)
hello guys,
i replaced my sealed beam headlights with the plastic housing ones because of how dim they were. i installed the new lights and they are still very dim, seems even worse than before,there is little difference between the daytime running lights and the low beams. in order to see anything while driving i must drive with the high beams on, also my high beam light on the dash is lit when the high beams are not on but its very faint. anyone know of common ground problems?
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

If both ( sealed beam and composite ) are dim check your voltage going to them should be around 12 - 12.5 also there is a wiring harness you can purchase that will run directly from your battery allowing 13-14 volts to the bulbs.
There is a upgraded " plastic " housing for early F-250's that have the Jeweled ( euro ) look to them that is a huge improvement over the defused style that came on the early F-250's 99-2002.

Yes, the 2004 are better headlights then the early 2000 ones.
Should be a 9007 here is a link for a kit that will work ( never tried one so dont know about the quality )

Yes a bad ground can and will also cause the problem.
