Hmm...Check if you have all your grounds connected. Usually things like that happen if you don't ground your wires correctly. Good luck.

Cheers

As for the dimness....
Lens could be dirty...look at it and see if its all hazy. If so you need to do some cooking

There's your problem... the relays should be grounded to the chasis anywhere should be fine as long as it's on the chasis and convenient for you to take out if something goes wrong with it in the future.
