Well if your car is a manual i think i know what the problem is, as i went through this in my pickup. Everytime i push the clutch in the lights got brighter, BECAUSE my chassis was not grounded, thus when i pushed in my clutch, it created a stronger ground to my dash. Perhaps your situation is somewhat the same...i would check all my grounds and make sure your chassis and body are grounded. |

Also check to see how well it is charging. Take a multimeter while the engine is idling and check the voltage on the battery. It should read right around 14.3 volts at the battery. |
