Default my lights dim when i hit the gas

ill be driving at night with my headlights on.

when i give the car gas, the lights get dim. when i let off the gas, 2 seconds later, the lights get brighter.

the lights dont brighter as soon as i let off the gas, like 2 seconds after i let off, every time.

what could the problem be?
