Dimming Lights

[Seanyt]

Hello,

I've had my Boc a couple of months now and I have noticed that the lights keep dimming when dry steering or changing from Reverse to Drive. Is there something simple that's wrong with it or something that needs replacing?

I've noticed it a lot more with the new bulbs in as there a lot brighter!

Are you sure you aren't mistaking this problem with the cornering lights?

Because it sounds like it, they come on when you hit reverse then in drive they go off. So it will seem dimmer as they aren't on.

By dry steering, i'm guessing you mean whilst stationary which again will be the cornering lights.

I may be completely wrong lol.

It's fine mate it's just the battery pulling power to use everything, power steering pump especially.

 

[char_baby]

So, was i wrong? lol

 

[jc_boc]

LOL, who knows. Maybe I was wrong?

 

[char_baby]

Lol no one knows.

 

[Chemical Al]

both seem feasible answers to me!

 

[lefkon]

you are both wrong. i'm the only one right here. i'm right and i dont even have to give an answer.

 

[jc_boc]

Well i guess that's settled then....................

Nah i think the OP is talking about all the lights in the car, both interior and exterior, dimming when turning the steering wheel when the car isn't moving. This is cause the power steering requires battery, and thus less current is delivered to the lights, so a lower output is viewed

Super. That's sorted that then
I'd like to park mon derriere on the fence and say "You both are right!"

 

[char_baby]

Well....i say i'm right for exterior lights lmao. he didn't say interior. if he did, i'd totally say the same as you Rahul

 

[rahul]

Haha, I park infront of my garage, so at night, when I leave, you can see the exterior lights dim anyway! So yea we're all right

 

[Seanyt]

Yea should have mentioned it wasn't the fog lights! lol Guessing everyone elses does this then?

 

[char_baby]

Lol, guessing Rahul and Jason were right then.

 

[jc_boc]
