Mine does it too, can we all pitch in and pay GM to let us borrow the Flux Capacitor from the C6 ZO6 ?

Mine used to as well. It's got something to do with the load drawn by the halogen lights coupled with the use of the power brakes. The alternator can't quite keep up with the load.

I had the same problem with the stock battery. With the new Optima Red, I haven't had any issue since the battery replacement.

Mine do it occasionally, also. Does anyone know if the problem goes away with the euro H/L conversion with relays?

I've assumed it was just the puny wires.
