A simple way to see whether you have an earthing issue is to temporarily connect a decent size wire directly to the battery earth connection; then touch the end of the wire to the headlight when it's switched on. If there's a noticeable improvement in the light output, the existing earthing arrangement would benefit from looking at.
Although I have a 12v system on my special, I have the headlights' earth connection cabled directly back to the chassis, the mechanical connection has a smear of dielectric grease on it.
