[QUOTE="JW266, post: 8757612, member: 670352"] Lights dimming = voltage drop. Add and or upgrade the rest of your wiring and that'll go away. The older the vehicle the more important this is. If yours doesn't have a cable direct from alternator to battery (through a fuse of course) add 1. Also make sure all your grounds on the chassis and/or body are to bare shiny metal. Sand or grind all the paint, rust, and any other ******** before bolting the ground down. My old 86 Toyota pickup would die at idle running just a nvx jad900.5. after a few new grounds and a charge wire the voltage stayed rock solid until I started to worry the back window was gonna bust . Lights were brighter than ever and never did that horrible flashing thing. [/QUOTE]
