Electronic Intensity Lowering...

[prboy3]

Hey forum:
I just got home from about a 20min. drive at night and I notice that when I was cruising with the HeadL and FogL on, when I hit the power window switches the fog/head lamps lowered (not that BIG) the intensity. Maybe this is just me, but when I first got my 3 this didn't happened. Any advice suggestion?

thanks in advance,

(dunno) That's happened to me ever since I got the car. Once the windows are up, the motor must be drawing more power. I don't think it's anything to worry about...

It happened to my 3 also, specially when im parking with a very low speed when im turning the steering the lights wer dimming a little bit. It happen also in my window when i close it. I thinks its not really a big deal its just its taking a lot of power at that point, no things to wrry about.

It's normal. The voltage drops slightly under high load conditions. It's just the nature of the beast (DC current).

go home and turn a light on then turn something that draws allot of power like a hair dryer, youlle notice the lights dim as well. chances are the dimness goes away when u stop rolling the windows down or up the intensity comes back.
