Or a bad earth?

Or just normal?

The revs don\'t change, rise maybe a little for the extra load (it is 4 + centre lights extra after all), but is it normal for the dash lights to just dim a little?

Cheers,
Mark

havent seen an fd where this doesnt happen.

most obvious if you turn interior light is on. also if you put the hazards on with he headlights on the tail lights dim on each flash.
