My headlights are real dim and yellowish. I checked the ground and it appears good. I also bypassed the switch, but neither helped. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.

what year? which voltage? engine running or not? got the right bulbs? the positive connections are as important as the grounds, have you checked voltages with a meter?

It's a '49, but it's rodded. 12 v system, runs and drives. The lights worked good when I first wired it, but have been dim since I got in a wreck and had it repaired.

bad connection somewhere, start with cleaning them all well, especially any intermediate connections under the hood, like the plugs on the bulbs and any terminal blocks on the inner fender - also make sure you generator/regulator [or alternator] connections are all clean and tight

Have you taken a volt meter and see what the voltage is at the socket?

Check out this site: Mad Electrical . They have information about putting relays in for the headlights to make them brighter. Part way down you will see the heading "Brighter Headlights".
It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.
