My uneducated guess would be the ground for the light bar or corrosion on the tips of the bulbs.
74 Challenger, bought it new. In 1978 I replaced the original 318 with a 446 and 727. Mild cam, Jardine headers, and Holley Sniper EFI. New engine! 511" RB, Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, Eagle rotating assy, Comp hyd roller cam, Doug's 2" headers.

I'm thinking the rheostat in the dimmer switch (too much voltage drop). I'd start by jumping 12V to the "out" terminal in the DS & if they brighten up then work upstream from right there starting with the switch itself.

Agreed, access that copper strip on the printed circuit that grounds the bulbs & ground it directly & see if they brighten up
