If your alternator can't supply current demands for the amp you will drop to battery voltage, you will see dimming unless you have HIDs.

Yup, you'll just kill your ballasts lol

x2. I went from a '10 lancer with HID to a '13 lancer without HID. My lights dim SOOOO MUCH more. But, HID's are in the future... muahahaha. along with h/o alt and all that jazz.

get as big as you can fit/afford. literally. you can't get "too big" as it won't hurt anything. and then if you go bigger on the system or whatnot, you already have a bigger alt and don't have to get a bigger one later.
