Brow,
Do you notice the dimming headlights when you are at idle, or while driving at elevated RPMs?

The reason I ask is that the window rollup button dims the lights at idle, but not at higher engine speeds.

at idle, stock alternators barely put out enough current to keep the vehicles stock electronics/engine running. peak output is usually between 1,500 and 2k RPMs. high output aftermarket alternators are even worse for idle output. an easy fix for that is to reduce the pully size on the alternator to get it spinning a little faster at idle. our engines can certainly handle the minor added load.
