Default Dimming light problem in the R anyone else got this goin on.

So I'm driving home tonight and I noticed that when I use my power windows or the turn signals that the interior lights as well as the headlights dim. I dont ever remember her doing this before course i havent had to daily drive in like 2 years but i never remember her doing anything like that. I'm going to check the battery alternator etc when i get a chance but i was wondering if any of you guys have this happen or any ideas what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ted

I had a similiar problem but it happend when I drove or rev'd the motor. All of the lights would flicker, cluster, turn signals, radio, clock, and overhead light. Replaced the battery and it was fixed temporarily. I just switched out alternators today and the problem was solved.

More than likely it would be either the battery or alternator...
