damn headlight dimming

[TRON]

Do they dim when the engine is idling or when your driving and the rpm is higher, like 1700?

pretty much any change in voltage is going to cause headlight dimming,

I'm going to get a regulated DC to DC power supply to run my headlights. Most of them take 8 to 18v in and give you a 12v out. Finding one that can do it at 15 amps is the trick. So i am still looking

To reiterate what duck just said, you will notice dimming with the slightest of voltage drop, even 0.1v. If that annoys you convert to hid headlights, DC ->DC power supply (to keep the voltage going to the headlights the same) or who knows what other options are out there now.

I chose HIDs and changed all my interior lighting to LEDs.

I only dim when im idling and im gona try and switch to hid's and led's

if you switvch to HID the dimming should stop sincd there are caps in the ballast.

if at any time you are pulling more current than your alt can produce, your lights will dim. sounds like you are clipping and drawing a lot of current.

but if your voltage is dropping for any reason your lights will dim/

Even with a h/o mechman I mean damn I paid so much for this to stop and its still happening ugh so frustrating

You can get a second AGM to hold the voltage higher decreasing the drop. Not really necessary for that setup but if you're looking to get rid of the dimming, ditch the cap and get another AGM to wire the amp to in the back

So go with 2 d3400 or could I take the d3400 under the hood and put it in the back and get a duralast platinum batt under the hood and run it in parallel

.1v of drop and your headlights will dim.

get LED headlights or HID's. only way to stop dimming.

I didnt know that hehehhe I teh nub I'll get HIDs
