Tonight was the first time in a long time that I have had the Boxcar out at night. When I drove to the garage I noticed the slightest flickering of the headlights. Lights are new Halogens so it is not the bulbs. When I stepped on the gas the lights got brighter but then dimmed a bit when I eased off and started the so slight flickering. I have a Braille Battery that I keep plugged into a Porsche battery maintainer when I am not able to drive for awhile. A '02 2.7 Tip. Any insight on what this might be? Alternator, belts, voltage regulator etc.?
