Easy to troubleshoot. Get your jumper cables, and connect one leg to the negative. Connect the other end of the cable to a piece of wire and put it on the negative output of your converter right where it comes out of the converter. Did the lights get suddenly bright? Yes... the negative return is not tight somewhere back to the battery. No.... Disconnect the negative from both ends, and do the same with the positive from the battery to the positive output of the converter. Did the lights get bright? Yes, it is the positive feed from the converter to the battery.
If either of those work, it is just a loose connection. If not, you have to have a meter and see if your converter is working or not. If not, check power in first with your meter to ensure 110 is there, then check output of the converter right at the output terminals where you put the jumper.
Only after you have figured out the actual problem should you start looking for the answer to fix it.
