08 Dodge Dakota High Beams?

OK. Here is the issue. I have an 08 extended cab. The low beams, good. The high beams, terrible. When I turn on the high beams, sure they reflect the signs off in the distance. But directly in front and closer to the truck, absolutely poor night lighting . Like 2 p_ss holes in the snow. It does not matter how the lights are adjusted, they are poor on the high beam selector. It does not matter which type of bulb I use, they are all the same result. I had an 08 Crew, and lighting was fine, low and high. Anyone have any idea's of what the issue may be. As strange as it may seem, seems like the high's aren't getting the right voltage.

    does the lights look brighter when you look at them if it looks dim its not getting amps just take it to oreillys auto parts and let them hook a volt meter to the headlight socket to see if 12v is showing, i have 97 dakota with euro clear head lights with 8000k hid hi/lo lights i never use my high beam because low beam i can see a mile down the road but i got high beams if i need them.ive never been flash because i have glare shield it hides the bulb so it don't blind people.
