Default Headlight brightness problem

its weird, ever since i got the car tuned on my hondata the headlights get brighter as i up the RPM and if i push the clutch in and rev, they get a whole lot brighter. any idea what it could be?

seems like it. Be careful that it does not surge and ***** up your wiring or pop the fuses.

Seems like you should be able to get it covered under warrenty But don't let them see the ECU... they might try to blame it on that

Just make sure your caR appears to look stock, or as close as possible so they have less to bitch at.

Spark plugs have nothing to do with your alt going bad.

Good luck
Let us know what the outcome is

it has nothing to do with your alternator. it is the actual hondata. do you have the s200? it has something to do with the alternate power. it is normal. call up hondata and ask them about it. PM "Mase" and he can tell you how to fix it. you have to cut a wire on your OBD conversion harness.
