Hi guys, not 100% sure if this should be here or another section of the forum, feel free to move if needs be.
This morning I noticed that when i had my lights on and used my electric windows my lights would dim. When the windows stopped going down/up the lights would fully come back on.
Any ideas what could cause this

car - 02 Renault Clio 1.2 "extreme"

I can't help, but that car name has to be the greatest motoring oxymoron ever.

You do not know extreme until you have felt the power of a 1.2 75bhp Clio!!!!!

The lights are dimming slightly as you are taking extra feed off the alternator whilst the windows are moving, nothing to worry about.

As above! In my renault 5, my interior / dash lights dim when the indicators are flashing!
