Car Audio Headlight Dimming

You can't stop dimming completely, just minimize it. The big three help, as well as a stout alternator, but when you reach a certain power level, it's somthing you juat have to get used to and live with.

You need a capacitor. I didn't see one listed unless I over looked it. I'm using a Bullz Audio cap I got off ebay, they're inexpensive. 1 farrad per 1k watts is a rule of thumb.
