I even tried fitting an earth cable from the front to the battery in the rear.It's only when the loading is super high and it happens like a switch going off. I'm wondering if the alternator actually cuts on purpose when the air-con does and the headlights run on the lower battery voltage.It's only under WOTI'm going to assume that's what it is Edited 07/01/16 11:44 PM by riptide Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86199-why-do-my-headlights-dim-under-hard-acceleration/page/2/#findComment-1576340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
