    Ok I recently posted about my HID lights well I removed them and found out a wire wasn't torn off . Ok replaced them with stocks headlight bulbs. Ok, I was under the impression that the HID lights were causing my interior Lights flicker problem but that wasnt true. So far I have noticed the following issues.

    -interior lights are fine without the headlights on.

    -when the headlights activate the car becomes dim and lights flicker inside and out.

    -while reversing I lost some power steering and the lights became very dim.

    -twice i the car hasn't started up, I've had to give it a few secs then start it ip again and it works fine.

    Also as a bonus, windows dont pull down quickly so I'm guessing motors are going bad?

    I have quite a few plans for this vehicle and I would love to get the minor issues taken care if first. Thanks you guys.

    First of all check your grounds. Test your batt and alt autozone does this for FREE. Then recheck your issues.

    Ground is the important part for all the car electronics to work, there are several points on the car that ground to the chasis, one being off the battery. Follow the black cable and you will find it leads to a smaller wire that bolts to the chasis.

    No need to take it out of the car, like Shawn said, they can test it with it in the car.
