    So I doubt this is something I'm going to mess with in the near future, but I find myself noticing that the stock electrical power delivery seems to be lacking. Headlights dim a little when I mess with the windows, dome light pulsates with stereo bass (stock system). What can one do to fix or lessen these problems?

    While I'm at it (because I don't really feel this warrants it's own thread), does anyone else sometimes have problems with their remote locking? There are certain parking lots that I have to be right next to my car for it to work. However, in many places it works fine from a decent distance.

    voltage drop. copper is expensive :)

    you can fix the headlights pretty easy with some relays and a little know how. next up is an alternator with a little more OOMPH (higher current rating)

    Never had those issues, which I found kind of odd considering my moms accord (04) suffers noticeably from the window + light dimming issue.

    Beefier alternator and grounding mod will help out a little bit.

    I have been doing research on a grounding kit myself. I have been wanting to do it for awhile (especially before I have to use the AC every time I use the car). If you want to go in on some thick wire and some connectors let me know.

    Here is one of the better articles I have found.
