Light Dims When Brake Light Is On

Post by GreenFever »

Took my '72 500 for a ride tonight and found out whenever the brake light is on the headlight dims enough that it is very hard to see where I am going. Plus the last time I had my other '72 500 running it was doing the same thing. What could cause this?
'72 500 x2
'72 400 not running
'73 400 parts sled
'74 295/S x3 missing many parts
'74 300 not running
'75 600 missing engine parts
'75 800 not running
'73 JDX4 not running
'74 JDX6

'75 JDX8

Question.... Does the headlight dim if the brake is appiled with the engine RPM up or just at idle?
