IT might be your alternator or distributer
Do you have a sound system in the car?

sounds like an alternator to me :hsdunno:

myhonda85

No i do not have a sound system. But do you know why the light would be so dim it is almost as if they were off. but the light inside the car is bright? why would the light be like that?

myhonda85

I changed the distributer last year

Has the alternator ever been replaced?

myhonda85

no it hasnt but that could make the light that dim? the car starts no problem the battery has charge. but the head light are very dim. i am gonna change the alternator tomarrow to see if that fixes the problem could the alternator cause the head lights to be very dim if the battery still has charge?

because the headlights use a lot more power than the inside lights

myhonda85

true but it seems like it did not affect anything else electronicly beside the headlights that is why i said that

It could be that the alternator is getting ready to fail and the headlights are about the only thing on the car that realy pulls from the alternator
