If your headlights start to dim, it’s time to check your alternator.

If you notice your car headlights start to dim, it’s more likely that your alternator is having a problem instead of your car battery. Dim headlights are a signs that they are drawing power from the battery because the alternator is producing little or no charge. If the lights get brighter when you rev the engine, it shows that the alternator is producing some current, but not enough to keep the battery properly charged when the engine is idle. If the lights have normal brightness and consistent intensity as the engine is revved, your charging system is usually functioning normally.

Another possibility of headlights dim could be due to the car battery is not able to hold a charge, or something else on the vehicle is constantly discharging it. You should have your car’s electrical systems checked because if it’s not a car battery problem, your car will keep draining every car battery you change and the car engine might stall during driving.
