connecting it close to the headlights? no...connecting it to the audio system MAY fix the issue...might be best to install a larger under the hood battery and maybe consider doing the BIG 3 first...

please don't tell me to upgrade the main power supply batts,alts and cables.

that's not the question.

well then you might not get too much help...as those are things that generally cause the dimming issue...and the only way to correct them is to upgrade them...

exactly

I would recommend you to upgrade the main power supply batts,alts and cables.

Maybe if you used a diode to force the current to discharge in the light, you might be able to.

Not exactly, he is asking in theory would caps work for exterior lights. Not if adding a cap to the audio system will stop dimming.

 

[luv2bass 10+ year member]

ok i will set the question in other words.

is it more efficient for reducing dimming if you put the cap close to lights or close to amps or there isn't any difference at all?

 

[Bloodstalker999 10+ year member]

wow NVM I misunderstood him...

 

[patrick1202 10+ year member]

connecting it close to the headlights? no...connecting it to the audio system MAY fix the issue...might be best to install a larger under the hood battery and maybe consider doing the BIG 3 first...

he said no to the question about the headlights then he ... went in to telling him about what he could do

 

[rtillaree 10+ year member]

well maybe someone smarter than me can help you, i cant help ya man..good luck...

i would put it close to the amp because caps are meant to store energy then let out the energy when needed
