What Bob Flood said +1.
Another thing to check is the earth wire from the headlights.
Seeing as though I always use higher wattage than OEM(130/90), my headlights always have a relay wired in. The stock wiring triggers the relay which gets its power from a 6mm wire that I run like a bus bar.
I replace the stock power plug with several large, high capacity spade lugs.
Except for my Ltd which has 55watt HID which won't overload the stock wiring and the kit came with its own harness.
