Headlights dim when A/C on....

I have been driving my 09 Fit around and noticed at night with the A/C on the lights seem to dim every now and then. I know the car is small the engine is small = small alternator---but is that normal? does it happen to other 2nd Gen fits? I have never owned a car that had so much electrical draw from the factory that the lights dim.<P>yeah yeah big stereo + stock alternator and batt = dim lights but this thing is stock!!

Try a search by posts. You can see the headers but don't need to get into each one, just breeze thru.
