Default 97 accord headlight issues

hey people, got a 97 accord and been having issues with the headlights. went out the other night so i went ahead and replaced the low beam. now both the high beam and low beam are very dim and any time i give more power to the lights (turning on brights) the bulbs both go out. any advice someone can give? my best guess were bad grounds because the fuses seemed perfect. thanks in advance.

To check if it is wiring or something else, try removing all bulbs
and swapping them in their locations. And cleaning plus greasing where the grounds connect will always make lights work better.-Bob

Also..........if the engine/alternator is running, are the lights the same dimness?
