Thoughts?

i honestly haven't honked the horns at night, so i can't say for sure. but an instant 20 amp draw *could* cause enough of a voltage drop to see the light difference. a very slight change in voltage can be very noticeable. the tunda has a pretty good charging system, but you can even see the lights dim slightly when you hold the window roll up button after they are all the way up. the reason why i was asking about how it was wired is because if the wire is too small or it is not grounded well, there will be an increased current draw due to the increased resistance in the wire/ground.
