[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 bullshit 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]
