  1. you need 4 or 0 gauge wire, the wire you have putting much resistance, that why everything dim


  2. Sorry but you need a cap and a more powerful alt. I had the same problem until I got a cap and a 200amp alt from powermaster and you might want to upgrade the wire coming from the batt to a 4g wire the rest sounds fine.
