Default civic headlights - brightness changes as I drive

and it really doesn't matter how fast I drive or what my tach does. I could be driving down a flat road at a constant rate of speed and my headlights will dim for a few seconds and then return to normal brightness. Any ideas of what could be causing this?

I've had this for awhile, and I've heard of others that have this problem.

Guys have done just about everything. Replaced the battery, alternator, hell, some go as far as to replace some of the wiring. Nothing seems to work.

Personally I haven't done anything and I've just become accustomed to it after driving the car for almost 2 years.
