if the wiring in that year Challenger is typical for the era, you have power running from your engine compartment to your headlight switch, through your dash wiring, then to your headlights.
I don't recall the exact numbers, but think I was 2.2 volts down at the headlight sockets.
I tapped into my high and low beam power lines close to the lights, and put in relays and ran power straight from the output to them.
I have the same voltage at the headlight sockets as coming off the back of the alternator, and noticably brighter lights.
Headlight relays will make older and older style bulbs shine as bright as they can.
They also provide the power needed to get the benefits of newer style, head lamps. Many just put in new high output bulbs, but still only getting low voltage to the head lights without relays, and then wonder why they did not get good improvement.
