What the heck? I never drove my car at night until tonight. I get in and start the car. Drive down the street and notice the lights are kind of dim but not too bad. I step on the clutch and when the rpms go down to idle the lights get brighter. So I pull over and check it out. The lights dim as I increase rpm and when I let go of the gas and come to idle.... 3 seconds or so after it's at idle they get brighter. I've seen the opposite happen but never this. What could be happening?

make sure you're using a proper light bulb in the alt warning light socket, not an LED. and make sure it's not burned out.
The charging system works through this light bulb Make sure fuse #9 is there and not blown either |
