    This is the first of probably many threads like this...so I apologize in advance.

    I have noticed that my headlights will do some weird things. Mostly, they just get dim, but once in a while, they get brighter. Not my highbeams, but brighter. Every time it does it, it's only for a second. For a while, I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.

    Anyways, is this a common quirk with the SRT??

    Jeff, mine does that also.... I just figured that it has something to do with the alternator. It has never really bothered me.

    Normal operation, usually accessories engaging/disengaging.

    Yeah, I know about that. My 4 had that issue....but I'm in an 8 now...

    All I have is the factory installed Kicker. But, the lights don't dim out with the bass like it would in a suped up system.

    And don't hate on the airdales.....what was your rate again??
