I've noticed my headlights and gauges dim ever so slightly when I hit the breaks, then get bright again after half a second or so. Any idea if this is normal? I hope to god it's not the alternator, because I just replaced the alt in my 5th gen celi and don't want to do it again with a car I jsut bought! Also if my luck is completely ****e, is the alt on a 5th gen interchangeable with a 6th gen?

Thanks!

Mine have done that since i got it almost 3 years ago. unless your car really gets dim to the point where you are stalling then I would worry.

and yea sorry it sounds like a alt to me..

i used to have a similar problem. it also might be a bad connection to your battery. mine i had to put on a new clamp to get it to stop. otherwise it might be your battery or alternator.

My black one does it just a bit. Not enough to really notice unless you're really looking..

The Yelli Celi's lights dim a bit and when the sub hits the lights dim A LOT! I'm thinking about investing in a high output alternator...

Is there any downside to getting a alt with higher output?

Slightly poorer mpg figures as the engine has to do a little bit more work turning the 'heavier' alt.

my black celica had the same problem and i changed my alt. but it turned out to be my battery. so check your battery out.

as far as the orange one, they never dim
