i have a 96 civic. Sometimes my headlights will get dim also my fog lights will, but when i let off the gas my lights get bright again, my power locks just randomly stop working, and sometimes they do work, i think i might need either a voltage regulator, new battery or a new alternator. PLEASE HELP! I don't know much and i have allready searched on this sight and other sites to see if this is a common problem or if this is a big or small problem, and i could not find a single thing, so get back to me. thanx

Free bump so you can get some help, I've never heard of a problem like this before, good luck.

I get the same thing every once in a while... I thought the voltage regulator was built into the alternator? First thing I'm gonna do is clean and check all the ground points and the battery and alternator connections...

it sounds like a weak alternator.
