since i got my blower on my car i have noticed that under hard accelaration at high rpm's the lights in the cluster dim....

does anyone have any idea what might be wrong.

do you have a stock alt? it could be an excessive load demand doing with the hard acceleration.

My lights used to dim when I had a stereo in my car, maybe your alternator/battery is having a hard time keeping up with whatever is going on in your car?

You can go to an Autozone or Kragen and they can check the volts of the battery and alternator for free...maybe you should check it out.
