It wouldn't hurt to add an extra ground wire or two as well.  :)

i think a little dimming of the headlights at idle is expected.
have you checked voltage at the battery?
battery voltage should be |removethispart|@ 12.5V, higher at idle(13+), and mabe 14.2V- 14.6V when turning faster.
batteries are cheap, and if your alternator is doing this then you should be good.
of course good wiring only helps.........

I'm not greedy, just fly me to Hawaii and I'll be happy with a six pack on the beach.
