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 ***** being clear its starting to bug me...

BTW Does anyone have 98+ HVAC ***** 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)

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

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

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
