Dimming Lights

Dudes and Dudettes,
Do your headlights and dashboard lights dim momentarily when you apply your turnsignals? Mine do. It has done it since I have bought the car. Any insights?

Have not noticed that but I did notice dimming after cooling fan turns on.

My lights and dash lights dim and go back strong then dim and strong.....when at idle. Not sure why....I took it into the dealer, but they said it is normal?? Dunno...I kinda got used to it.

I suspect it is a problem with an undersized generator. Not necessarily a bad one.

I had the same exact problem on my car about a year after I bought it. I brought the car to the dealer and they fixed it. Turned out to be a short circuit. No problems since then!!!
