and headlights will dim then come back to normal...it has nothing to
do withe the speed of the car or the rpm's.and the problem is not
consistant..it seems like it happens more down bumpy roads but i
am not sure...Once again any help is appriciated thanks,
Nate

I would say it could possibly be a ground wire, but then again, a very high chance that I am wrong.
