My '45 gauge lights seem to do a funny thing. They are bright when the park lights are on , but when the headlights go on, they dim noticeably. I am still on the 6 volt system. I use a headlight relay. The dimmer switch is clean, grounded and works well. The headlight switch is original. The wiring harness is a modern type.
The question is, is this dimming a designed in feature, or an electrical issue?
