The other night I was going down to the store and as I was coming to the top of my driveway, I applied my brakes and my fog lights turned off for about 1.5 seconds and then came back on when I let off the brakes ???. When I got on the main road I tried to see if the fog lites would go out again if I applied the brakes, but it didn't happen. Now I know that my battery may be struggling a bit because ever since I installed my silverstars, the interior lights dim a little when they are on the same as the head lights.

I just wanted to see if this is a fluke or if there is a potentially serious problem that could cause bigger problems further down the road!
I appreciate all ideas/opinions.

Thanks.

Hmmm, sounds odd but not suprised. If you run a heavy guage 12v wire from battery to headlights, and use relays to trigger, you will eliminate overload problems with the Silverstars, and have brighter lights due to getting a full 12v to them. Oh, and negative is the trigger, just keep that in mind, and an added bonus is a low beam when high beam on mod when completed.

I turn on my headlights now (HID) and see absolutly no dimming with interior lighting on lamp start like I used to.
