Toronto,
It's not that there on, but their slightly faded on the dash. Where as other lights would be fully off, my battery and oil lights seem to be slightly on....is this supposed to be normal with the mods stated below?

6-bolt w/ 1g head, 720 cc inj
95 ECU on a 97 GSX

Thanks
 
Its your alternator regulator. Its probably giving too much voltage. Thats the first signs of it, evenually it will just cook itself by pushing too many volts. happend to me a few times already. I recommend getting a grounding kit for these cars.
 
Dont get the grounding kit, its worthless. Unless your car has already suffered from fire damage, or somesort, then the grounding kit isn't needed.

But yeah, it does sound like your alternator is messing up.
