Anyone have any thoughts on why my headlights dim for a split second if i turn on anything electrical while driving, or if i step on the brake, turn on the radio, etc...etc...You can see the headlights dim for a split second...Thanks in advance.

First, take your negative & positive cables loose to check for corrosion. If you find any corrosion, use a 50-50 mix of water and baking soda with a brass brush to clean them, dry with a towel and apply Vaseline to the connections before hooking them back up. After cleaning, Take the car to AutoZone or Advanced auto parts, and have them do a battery load test and alternator output test, and post back.

Thanks for the tip....The negative battery cable was lose. I cleaned them both and tightened them down, it took care of the problem. Thanks again, I appreciate the help.
