The night of the battery change, i noticed that the headlights were dimming as if i was cranking the woofers to the max and is draining power each time the bass hits. i turned the radio off and it still happens... this time i noticed that the interior lights were dimming in sync with the headlights... im not sure but... could it be my alternator is going south? or is it something else? thanks in advance, Jimmy 2000 Silver SVT Contour - Daily Driver 1996 BBB Impala SS - Garage Queen http://www.cardomain.com/id/ghosstryda
