My headlights go dim
When I hit the brakes. It has been doing this for awhile. I notice the whole system is "jittery" at times.
Battery tested strong. Cables are tight. It has always done this (so did my last Vette)- to some degree. I was told once it was a "GM thing"...
Seems to be getting progressively worsererererr.
What up wit dis??? Where would I begin to check? Seems I would have to have someone ride with me to see what I see.
(sorry it's a 2002 Z)

Good luck.

Thanks Larry!
We did what we could last night. We got a few small turns on some of them. This morning I had to drive in the fog and everything seems fine. Had the heater blasting, etc.
Thanks Mang!
P.S Keep the chops coming. They make my day
