Default Dash lights dimming when i hit the brakes Help!

Well just recently i noticed my dash light and radio dim when i hit the brakes and was wondering if anyone has had this problem if so where did you look or do to fix the problem. I guess its a bad ground somewhere, also my car is pretty much stock electronic wise, stock radio etc. Since my car is parked in the garage all week i have not had a chance to mess with it, thought i ask here to gets some advise thanks
