[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 3422471, member: 551352"] dude...dropping to 13.2 volts is not a massive drop. theres people here dropping into the low 11's....THATS a bad drop, and dangerous. any time you drop voltage you will dim. thats the nature of it. bulbs are brighter @ 14V than they are at 13V and even less at 12V. thats all normal. in fact dimming, as annoying as it maybe and bad as it looks to your eyes, isnt dangerous (providing your not dropping real low, IMO you should always stay above 13V). do the big 3 (doubt it will remedy anything as its all brand new wiring anyways and your not putting THAT much of a strain on the electrical system), and try to get a extra battery wired in. should help.
