Seriously, both of you should type so people can read and understand what you're trying to say.


Check for battery terminal corrosion, and check for corrosion (or a loose bolt) where the grounds connect to the chassis and engine block or wherever they attach on your particular car. When you have a known-good battery and you have dimming lights when the engine cranks, there is something that is causing a big restriction to current flow, which usually ends up being corrosion or a cable clamp or cable lug that isn't tightened all the way.
