Ok, I've got a question and was hoping I could get some help. My dizzy went out the other day so I bought a new one along with a cap and rotor. My car was back up and running and when I went to turn on the headlights, nothing happened. I found out that both the high and low filaments blew out. So I got some new bulbs and I was driving the other night and all of a sudden the lows went out. I checked today and the filament was blown on both sides for the lows. I have a brand new battery also. I'm not sure what is causing this and was hoping to get some insight. I'm wondering if my system is drawing too much power. I've for a 400 watt RMS amp. My lights do dim when I have it up so I am wondering if it is putting to much stress on the electrical system but I am not sure. Any help would be appericated. Also forgot to add, it is a 93 Ex.

Nevermind, I found out my alternator was bad. It was putting out around 17 volts at idle.
