First of all "wiggling" is no substitute for what I recommend which is to remove,,,,,,,,,,clean and wire brush all shiny,,,,,,,,,and replace each and every battery and starter and switch and especially FRAME GROUND cable and connection then try it again.
If when you push the start switch the lights dont dim down and/or the voltage dont drop much the problem may be the start switch contacts are burned and pitted and resistive (but still could be maybe starter brush problem)

Id suspect a cable or connection or ground problem BEFORE the rest
