I've put these made-on-demand harnesses on 4 Toyota trucks so far:
HL282S SMS Upgrade Headlamp Harness for Switched Ground Vehicles | Rally Lights. Note: I haven't tried the 80/100 bulbs yet.

Well, here's an update.

Threw in some fresh bulbs this afternoon, driver's side still extremely dim, looks on the verge of burning out.

Broke out the multimeter and am getting 12v on passenger side and 11.4ish on driver's side. The driver's side fluctuates a good amount while passenger side stays steady. So I believe I can chock this up to a bad wiring harness?

I inspected the fuse and the harness itself, and all looks good to my eyes. Any ideas what could have caused it to go bad?

I'll likely be ordering another harness/adapter. The one I have currently is made by trumods and seems to have been used by multiple forum members without any problems. If anyone recommends a different company though I'm all ears.

Edit: forgot to mention that I pulled off the harness/adapter and tested the voltage at the stock headlight harness. Got a solid 12v on both sides.
Possibly the relay(s). A friend had intermittent flickering with his HID setup and finally fixed the issue by temporarily replacing the harness' "sealed" relay with a standard Bosch/Tyco. I wrote that in quotes because it was actually just a generic relay shoved into a housing to make it look like a skirted weatherproof relay like what Hella offers.

In case anyone was on the edge of their seat waiting for an update on this riveting story:

It was the harness. New harness installed, lights as bright as the sun.

Cheers.

I ended up just going with the same harness I got before, as other members on the forum seem to be using it with no issues. Probably just a loose connection somewhere. The return window expired though, so I just ordered it again and returned the bad one

Here's the one I got, by truMods

Amazon.com

On RA click on the Part Number Tab and Put "H410080W"

If nothing comes up it's out of stock.
