Default Weird Problem

Hey guys, I have noticed that while driving at night my lights do not stay a constant beam. It seems whenever i start braking the light will dim for a moment, it mainly happens when im runnin hard but it happens every night. Im hoping it is the battery because it is a little sluggish when it turns over. Thx guys

DO you have a lot of electronics?

Sounds like your alternator, or you have a short in your system. how many miles are on the car?

dude, that's normal. it's only battery power then, and brake lights take a lot of juice.

what's your battery guage say?
