headlights dim

Post by mzdspd »

When i have only my headlights (my stereo off) and i push the brakes my headlights dim. When i have my headlights on and i turn my stereo up they don't dim. To me this makes no sense. My amp pulls about 50 amps at max power which is quite alot for the stock altenator but the lights are fine with it running. Yhe only time i see aproblem is when i push the brake. What could be the problem.

Hmm, I have seen this Problem a many of times, and so far the main thing I have seen is a Vacuum Leak that caused the Problem, Do your RPMS Toggle at all when you hit the brakes?? if they do, check all your Vacuum lines for leaks or disconnections, because that may be your problem.
