Default 89 civic dash lights?

so i been having a problem with my car turning on when ever it wants to. i changed the main relay and going to change fuel pump this weekend. last night i drove the car turned on perfect but while driving i notice that everytime i let the gas go the dash lights and clock would dim down like if it was loosing power and once i got in gear and drove they got really bright. i dont know if this may be one of my problems why my car turns on when ever. what do you guys think? why is it doing that?

DEF sounds like a bad ground or wiring issue/alt problem. check all ground and make sure no wiring is grounding out etc..
