Has anyone experienced a problem with thier headlights dimming when applying the brakes at night? They also dim when using the windows? Any place I should be looking for a ground issue?

 

When I first bought my car it did, It went away after installing my stereo and Optima Yellow Top battery.

 

Check battery and alternator.

 

mine dim whenever i come to a stop

 

There could be a problem with the brake booster but most likely the alternator

 

get a new battery. worked for me.

 

check your battery fliud level, inspect your alternator, look for excessive corrosion, etc.

 

bump

 

^terrible bump....

 

yaeh well i have this prob and the batt is an optima new cables all i can figure its the alt but it test ok i think they gave me cali spec not a fed spec i need the fed spec will the 15 amps make that much of a diff

 

why'd U bump it thou, just read and move on we dont need to see this

 

the whole light dimming thing is pretty common in japanese made cars. every japanese car that i have owned has done this. i usually wind up changing the alternator and battery sooner or later and it still does it so i just live with it.

 

wow didnt realize this was like a 3 year old thread. omg who the hell would bump this.

i vote 1 week ban for purposely bumping a old thread by just saying "bump"

 

^Agreed LOL..... All in favor say I
