Grounding kit

I just installed a grounding kit and took it out for a spin. I noticed the auto tranny shifted a little smoother. Nothing too extreme but it was noticeable. However, I installed the grounding kit with the hopes of eliminating my headlights dimming when my turn signals are on. My headlights still dim slightly when my turn signal is on. I put a cable to all the typical spots such as the intake, cylinder head, alternator, and the passenger side headlight. Anything else I can try to get rid of the dimming?

Is it really that extreme of a dimming?

Mine still do it after a new alternator and battery. Good luck fixing it. If you do, let us know, because there's a bunch of CLs with the same problem.

I also had to replace the whole positive side battery cable. It was corroded in more than a few places. Just a thought.........

My positive side battery cable is pretty bad too... I'll have autozone take a look at my alternator and see if it needs to be replaced
