lights dim?
lights dim? I have disconnected my AMP completely and when i am at idle everything is fine. However, once i rev the engine up my lights will fluxuate dim to bright dim to bright really fast and the strange thing is my volt gage doesn't show any drop at all? Ideas?
Go have your charging system tested to make sure your alt. is putting out enough power. A lot of places do it for free, at least around here anyway. Its been my experiance over the years that, and amp can kill a stock charging system really fast.

Ok so today i noticed something that i had not before. When i start up the car the gauge reads perfectly. But the longer i drive the lower the volts read. after 30min it drops almost 3 volts almost touching the middle line 13?? if i remember correctly.

Verdad Gallardo I don't believe its charging system (alternator) or battery problem. (well atleast one that didn't come from the factory)
I had my charging system tested as well, and it was perfect, yet mine still did it. I have heard its a voltage spike from the air pump turning on and off (or something to that extent), but mine still does it with !AIR. ANd I just started noticing it again when it got cold outside. Hmmm
