First of all you don't have a EK9 and should refrain from using that term if you wished not to get flamed by other members on here.

Anyhow, you can try something like a voltage stabilizer. Your problem is common among honda, civics in particular.

 

oic..i was it was kinda freakin me out..i'm try to get it fixed.

 

wat exacty do i have to do to get this fixed? a step by step how to would be awesome.

 

check if these apply
bad fuse
bad wire
bad charge in batterey
bad bulbs
bad connection

you dont have an 'ek9'

 

check all your grounds

 

could be the alternator.

 

i know i dont have a ek9..we went over that already...thanks for review it AGAIN..


but yea anyways..i'll check all that stuff..my cousin also said it could be the alternator.

Before that, i would look for bad grounds, check voltage on battery/swap batteries. Take a volt meter and read what it's outputting at the battery i believe it should be around 12v's.

 

i got a 98 CX hatch and mine does the same even after a engine swap and a new battery
