My daughter's car's headlights are very dim - (the lenses have been cleaned and polished) - what are some possible reasons for this?

Barb,
Her alternator may not be supplying enough amps, causing the headlamps to be dim. I would have the alternator tested for amperage threshold.

Barb,
You could have extra resistance in the circuit that robs some of the voltage for the bulbs. The first thing I would do would be to check how much voltage is actually getting to the bulbs. If this is low, I would check the connections to see if there's any corrosion or loose connections.
