LCD odometer screen dimming
So i havent replaced my battery ever since ive gotten the car brand new in 1999. Im starting to notice that the odometer LCD screen starts dimming alot when the bass hits, and this is with the rest of the lights are off.

Do you think its time to replace my battery and get something new?

Check some of the grounds around the car. Add some new ones. Then see if it is still bad.

How old is the battery? They usually kick every 2 to 3 years anyhow, of which I am sure was expidited by your system. Never anything wrong with an OYT...

HIDs and LEDs use less power than regular Halogen bulbs
