Chadd - the approx 1 volt difference you observe between the battery posts and the lamp terminals is excessive - it should only be a few tenths of a volt. And this voltage loss will cause significant dimming of the lights.

I recommend a minimum of #14 wire from the light switch to each lamp - #12 wire is preferred.

Also does the light switch become hot after the lights have been on a few minutes? If it does switch contacts have high resistance - may need to disassemble the switch and clean the contacts.
