[QUOTE="JW266, post: 8785437, member: 670352"] Your battery is probably on it's way out. If you didn't have voltage drop issues when you first installed and you are now I'd be checking all the + and - connections. Capacitors for sure sound like the easiest way to fix your headlight dimming problem but upgrading your wiring is so worth the extra time. On top of giving your amps the juice they need the rest of your vehicle will perform better. If it's an older or even newer "commuter" car it'll have the smallest cheapest lowest quality wiring the manufacturer could use to just barely run what came in the car. You also won't be adding more points of possible failure that will piss you off and in turn cost even more $$ after you throw that capacitor and it ricochet off the driveway into a potted plant and then threw the window of the car your ******* neighbor is always parking in front of your house. He's got cameras and is friends with cops... Just buy the 4ga. From amazon dude. [/QUOTE]
