you should compare voltage readings from the passenger side as well as Ohms of the power and ground wires. check the wires for a voltage drop accross the power and ground wires live (while the lights are on) to the battery, sounds like excess resistance on the ground wire sence both the high and low are affected. The voltage drop accross the power and ground wire should be no more than 3/10 of a volt. if it is higher then you either have a bad connection somewhere, a corroded or damaged wire. let us know what you find
