Head Light Relay

To make my headlights brighter, (on my 68 Camaro) I've added a homemade relay kit with parts I ordered from the internet. After installation the headlights are brighter, but keep flickering and shutting off while driving. They work in the garage with no apparent issues. These are 4 pin relays that come from China. I've tried several other relays of the same brand and found the same problem. After bypassing the relays I found the lights worked normally while driving. I'm wondering if there's a certain type or size of relay that I should be using.

To check the system, I removed the plugs from the relays then jumped between the 30 to 87 locations on the low beam plug. (I haven't check the high beams on the road yet.) With the jumper in place the headlights worked with no issue. The power comes directly from the battery through a 20a fuse then divides to go to each relay. All the grounds are new and solid. No other devices are in the circuit.
