Has anyone noticed their lights dimming as the radiator fans start spinning,
For me its noticeable, but it only does it for a second... I think it is even more noticeable when my sub is pumping.. but it was happening b4 i installed anything.. Just wondering if this is normal or not...

I'm sure its normal, because my car does the exact same. When my sub is pumping the lights dim with the sub. So now i have to buy a capacitor for the sub to stop the lights from dimming.

I'm pretty sure this is a known "feature"
 of the LR Focus. My headlights flicker when the car is idling too.MK |
