[QUOTE="Full Tilt, post: 8131032, member: 640249"] The problem is that people here are yelling at each other over what to do for his dimming issue - upgrade the alternator, buy more batteries, what have you. Guys, he's simply searching for a fix for his dimming. "Yeah, but dimming comes from voltage drop so he needs to fix that", well, OP says he's barely ever dropping a volt. 13.6 isn't terrible voltage, and like it's been said before, some headlights dim on very, very little drop. If he's gonna have dimming even with a drop of .2v, that means upgrading his electrical isn't going to fix his problem. The HIDs were a simple fix to the dimming. Yes, OP could probably use another battery in his trunk for what he's running, but I honestly don't think a H.O. alternator is in order for this kind of system. If he's got HIDs which fix the dimming problem and puts another battery in the back in the future just to help his electrical out a bit, I think he's gonna be just fine. [/QUOTE]
