its because the maxima headlamp is probably old

its not clear like the newer cars and the way its designed (refraction glass) absorbs a lot of the light... and the reflective housing inside the headlamp is probably degrading.

So both lights just went dim at the same time and stayed like that? Sounds like you fried your headlight wiring harness. What was your bulg rating in watts? 100W? Check the wires you plug into the headlight bulbs and see if they're burnt or melted.
