Question Internal Lights dimming by themselves

Hey guys, ive been gone for a while, ive had quite a few exams to take and never got a chance to talk to you all. Luckily, i come back with a slight problem, hopefully its just a fuse, but i will ask you guys ...........

- Riding home tonight and i noticed at one point that all my inside lights(dash, center consul...etc) were dimming down, then lighting up a litte, then dimming down again, only to return to full brightness. I checked the light intensity switch and it seem to be working fine

While i was driving i had
1. heater on like 75 and it was blowing pretty hard
2. heat was aimed at the front window, not blowing out at me

Any ideas why thats happening/ hopefully its not a huge issue, but if you expert could help a brother out, id love to hear from ya

Ty

It's probably your headlight switch /dimmer switch going bad.

Could possibly be the alternator. Do you have any amps that might be putting a load on the system?

Nah, no amps YET!! ahhaha, i dont think i could handle any more bass and treble inside that steel cofin hahha.

XCLR8TT- how much does that usually cost ??? Id hate to have to replace another part. My life with the TT has been replacement-repair-replacement-repair ahhahah. Are there any other symptons of a light switch going bad that i should know about.
