hey guys I have a problem with my 96 civic when I am driving the lights dime down but when I let off the gas the light brighten

up again then I get on the gas again they dime down till I hit bout 4000rpms and you can feel the loss of horses when the lights

are dime. I installed a new alternator and a HKS ground kit but it is still doing it

why is this can any one help me

 

mine does the same thing and I have no idea why

 

bump

 

well I see that me and u r f**ked no one even gives us any ideas of what it could be

 

mine does the same thing to but the other way around where i step on the gas and bring it past 35rpm my lights get brighter and then when it goes below that they get dim

 

yeah mine does that too when im stopped just idleling the lights dime down then after 4000rpm they get bright and if im under 4000rpm and get off the gas they get bright again I have no clue why.

 

i'm having the same problem... bump!

 

your grounds need to be resurfaced, grind them down with sand paper

 

wow i have the same problem, hahahahh geez

 

My ej8 has been doing this for the past 3 years. Changed the alt, all the grounds were re-done, new battery, everything you could think of, still does it. I just gave up. I don't have a loss of power though.
Bump incase someone out there knows why the hell honda's do this.

 

same problem here in an EJ8 with an H22 swap even. Bump to figure this out

 

I have not changed anything yet, but i dont loose power. not that i can tell. but someone has to know!!! its annoying the lights going dim and light and dim and light =P

 

I even went to the point to install a volt meter and at lower rpms the meter reads a little over 12 and anything over 50mph it reads right at the 13.7-14. Damn honda's might be reliable but do they ever have those little problems that don't hurt anything, just damn annoying. Oh well, life goes on.

 

I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!! well for mine.. a ground wire next to the headlamp thats attached to the body with about 4 wires. I cleaned it all up with a wire brush making a solid connection and it fixed it. i did it on both sides. so in my case it was a ground connection problem.

 

damn, i was too late to say ground problem

 

thanks guys for your posts but I changed all the grounds on my car and installed the HKS ground wire kit (it has bout 8 extra ground wires) but didnt stop it does any one else have a solution

 

so no one knows any fix to this. other than battery, alternator, and ground

 

im open to any suggestions!!!!!! thanx

 

bump b 4 I go home

 

Dang I'm on same boat.....all on coming traffic flashes me b/c they think I am turning my brights on when I let off the gas. Bump for help!

 

ok thanks to all that posted and for the people that are on the same boat as me I finally found my problem it was my spark plugs

I got new ones last night and it fixed my lights they dont dime down any more and if it doesnt work for you try cap and rotor and

even spark plug wires
