Dimming headlights, dash lights
While driving down the road in my g/f 98 EX coupe all of a sudden the headlights and interior lights go dim, then bright, dim, then bright. The finally it goes back to being bright and stays there.
Any ideas?

Although it sounds like it may actually be your alernator try this https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=776105 first. Do what I told this guy to do. Unfortunatly though, I think your alternator might be shot.

Thanks for the replies guys, I will check that out asap. It's been going on for about 6 months now. So I will clean all the battery connections, replace the ground. If it don't work, I will replace battery and alternator at the same time, just to bypass any future troubles.
