Forgive me if this is somewhere out there. I have been looking for the past 2 months and nothing.2g eclipse spyder gs. HEadlights dim and interior lights dim. Also dash lights flicker with the turn signal. I have a new alternator and new battery. ive checked the voltage. I have also checked grounds behind the throttle body and the one from the battery to firewall. Is there another ground? I checked ground behind the radio, they look good. I don't know if its a ground or a bulb. Its been frustrating. all exterior lights are working. Any idea what else to look into? It doesn't seem to flicker when hazards are on, just when the turn signal is on.I press the gas pedal and lights get brighter.

Sounds like the alternator is not keeping up with the increased load of the tail lights, even if the alterntor is new or reman, if its not a genuine Mitsubishi unit then its suspect, the parts store China or Mexico reman units are largely junk hit or miss. The regulator in them is slow to respond to load changes and usually will fail soon.
 
even if its brand new? its as new ACDelco alternator. everything works fine its just the lights dim and dash flashes with turn signal. even when i had the old battery and alternator.
