Typically the cause of poor lighting on a MH is poor connections or inadequate wiring, causing voltage drops to the headlights. An easy fix for this is to rewire the headlights using relays. Makes a world of difference. You would likely need relays if you change up to a higher wattage bulb, as well; no bulb works very well on 8 or 9 volts.
X2 !
Upgrading my wiring was the best solution. My headlamp switches kept burning out and I had dim lighting. Now the headlights are relayed straight from the battery. While I was at it, I added some Silverstars for some extra insurance. It turned night into day.
Like many other motorhome owners, I made the wiring harness myself, but I would have gladly bought one. This is such a common problem, you would think that a relayed harness could be purchased. Mark Lemonis are you listening? :)
Try eBay.
