Skibum346:
Sounds like the dreaded earthing problem.....?

 :shock:

Have you tried putting a known good earth to the offending systems?

Garth:
In the drivers side footwell about 2" above foot rest or clutch pedal there is a terminal post with lots of heavy brown wires going to it.  Check that it is tight.  I had similar problem with dull lights (but alternator light was glowing very dimly as well) only found it by chance as it was getting hot and I touched it.  Once tightened I had bright lights and no glowing alternator light.

Range Rover Blues:
Are you confusing dipped beam and dim dip, it's an alectrical block on the RRC just under the dash on the metal frame, when you switch on the sidelights and the engine is running (oil switch) then it brings the dipped beam on at about 8volts, the dipped beam also runs through the unit so you could be flicking between dim dip and dip?

Does the other problem coincide? if so then it's a faulty switch or power coupling in the loom.

Range Rover Ron:
Hi all,

thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out.

The dip beam is not changing to dim dip, the lights on dip beam just dim very slightly, if it went to dim dip I would know the difference.

There is only a slight change, a flicker, then the lights come back to normal brightness. difference is not the same as the difference between dim dip and dip.

I'll check out the box at the drivers side under the dash and see if I can find any earth straps broken or corroded.

Thanks,

Ron.

My lights sometimes dip like that, but I think it's a combination of an old battery and the air con switching on at low revs.
