Re: low beam headlamps very dim

I would pursue David's approach first as I would first expect some problem in the foot switch or the respective wire to the headlights, as that is the single common failure point of the system.

One thing I am surprised that no one mentioned yet is simply that headlights will dim with age. If the previous owner(s) only rarely used the high beams, it's possible you are just noticing old bulbs. Since few Packard owners drive much at dark, who knows how old they are.
