Several years ago I replaced my standard headlamp bulbs with 100w bulbs. It seems that whenever I drive the car with the headlights on and come to a stop my voltage gauge goes well into discharge territory. Once I get moving the gauge returns to the charging side. This is really a problem in stop and go traffic with the headlights on. The alternator is a rebuilt Bosch unit standard for 914 and was replaced about 5 years ago. I'm thinking of replacing the headlamps with an HID set-up to reduce the load. Is this an alternator problem? If I run the fog lamps or put on the turn signal while stopping, the system discharges. Thoughts are welcome.
