Headlights randomly dim.

Headlights randomly dim.
My 65 with an alternator randomly headlights randomly dim completely. I have replaced the headlight switch but that didn't solve the problem. I also finally replaced my battery (which lasted 6 years). Whenever it feels like it, the headlights will cut off and even though the instrument gauges still work well. I am looking for a ground wire problem as right now, shutting the doors firmly seems to restore things for a while. I have heard that Haologens overtask the breaker in the switch, the cars acts the same no matter what head light switch I have in the car.
Any suggestions?

I also think that running relays is a great idea with Halogens. It can also make the lights brighter since more voltage reaches the lights.
I am using this relay setup. I am very happy with it.

So loosed and re-tightened the headlight grounds and redrilled the cylinder head to firewall ground. Problem occurred around the same places on my commute. I never thought of this before, but I forgot to check the the floor mounted high/low beam switch.
