I just purchased a new 07 Accord 4cyl w/5pd manual. Great car so far but the headlights dim every time the airconditioner/defrost kicks on. The dealer says it's the nature of the beast. It bugs me. Is the dealer correct?
Thanks!

 

Most vehicles do this. My brother's Rangers lights dim. My Honda's lights dim everytime I touch the brakes. My dad's Accords lights dim when he turns up the fan. Not to big a deal. Nothing to be worried about.

 

I've never had this problem...

Check your battery terminals to be sure? A poor connection might be at hand.

Otherwise, no clue... Look into the "Big 3 Upgrade" found in the link collection in my sig

 

doesnt suprise me. normal.

 

Normal for the breed. I don't like it but buying a super mongo alternatorto curethe minor annoyance isn't practical.

 

Thanks! Something I will have to get used to.
