Okay so Im driven home and its night and so of course I have the head lights on... Anyways, Im driving home and I throw in some music and a song starts up and the subs do a quick low rumble...
I driven a long and when that first beat struck, I noticed that the head lights dimmed with the beat... Then after that beat, the head lights went back to normal... I was like "Huh, thats weird..." and I threw in some rap CD that has a ton of bass bumps in it... The head lights dimmed with the beat... The dimming is very slight too... I've never noticed it! But awhil back, a head light went out, and when my dad fiddled around with the head light, it lit up... Im thinking that the subs could be messin with the wiring or bulbs in the head lights... Or maybe my subs are a lil more powerful than i thought...i dunno  But yeah.. Has anyone else had this happen? --------------------  2003 Nissan Murano SE |

Its real simple. It means that you need a capacitor/condesator for your system. Its needed to keep the voltage at a straight level.
Because your subwoofer takes a lot of power first place to notice that is your headlights. If its dark and you will look at your dashboard light u will see the same. It could also mean that your battery is worn out. Dont know if its a old or new battery? But give some more information about your ICE setup. What kind of amps, subwoofers etc etc. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
