Dimming headlights when a/c is on!
Was just out driving my 2010 fit sport tonight and had tha a/c on! Yeah a/c in Florida at the end of October, haha! I noticed while driving that my headlights would kinda dim everytime the a/c compressor was actuated! Has anyone else noticed this on their GE8, can this be fixed?

Thanks

It's normal behavior for all Fits.

Function of alternator speed, battery capacity, and voltage regulation. Maybe the headlights are more sensitive to voltage drops too.
