Lights Flicker
 
Alright this has been going on for a while, but everytime my sub hits my interior lights fade.. Does anyone know how I could fix this problem because with my knobs being clear its starting to bug me...

BTW Does anyone have 98+ HVAC knobs that arnt clear that they would be willing to trade? They arnt really fitting into how I want to go with my interior..

you need a cap, that flicker is your alternator stuggling to keep up with demand (or a bad ground)

FamousZ Nov 17, 2004 08:07 PM

So a cap would solve the problem? How much do these caps run and where do you think I could pick one up?

archemedes Nov 17, 2004 08:08 PM

a cap will help, most audio stores have them they run a little over $100

FamousZ Nov 17, 2004 08:12 PM

Oh man I guess Im gonna just have to have my lights flicker until christmas.. Because I dont have that kind of money to spend on that.. :( Also does the caps that walmart sells any good?

archemedes Nov 17, 2004 08:14 PM

not bad, but you can get better for about the same money, check www.partsexpress.com for decent cheap ones. Be careful running like that since it can kill the alternator in a hurry

archemedes Nov 17, 2004 08:18 PM
