Headlights dimming at idle

If you're noticing lights dimming when the engine idles, your car is telling you something. Here's what usually causes it, what you can safely check, and when to call a mechanic.

Likely causes

  • Weak alternator output
  • Slipping belt
  • Bad battery
  • Poor earth connections

“Book an electrical test.”
