Lights dimming slightly when under load....

Hi all

Just a quick question really...

Last night when I was driving home in the pitch black I noticed that whenever I changed from 3rd to 4th under load (i.e when accelerating through the gears) the lights dimmed slightly, and then came back to full brightness after around 5 seconds.

When I pulled onto my drive and moved off after opening the gates (slight incline) the lights did the same thing when under load in 1st.

Now, this could be a normal thing and to be honest I have noticed it occasionaly on my car before, but last night it seemed to be happening alot more than normal. Its probably worth pointing out that my car also has spotlights (OEM MINI items) which were supplied and fitted by my local dealer.

The dimming is not that bad and the lights are still pretty bright anyway

Regards,

James.
