Dim Lights

I have a 94 F-150 maybe I am doin something to much and am going blind but I am sure my lights are getting dimmer. i used to get high beamed on low now I don't ever get flashed, even on high.
Ever heard of this? Does any one know the voltage that is supposed to be at the lights? They are aftermarket lights about 2-3 years old, i wouldn't think that would matter.
Oh yah if I am on high beam and I have the ebrake on a little they are dimmer than when the ebrake light is off, doesn't make much sense to me, hopefully someone and help
thanks

Check voltage at battery with the engine running.

I have checked that it seems the lights aren't getting enough power, I havn't check how much is at the lights yet but I know something isn't right.

Check your headlight switch. I rewired my headlights this last weekend so they used relays and draw power directly from the alternator. If you do a search you should come up with something.
