Dim Lights

Not sure why your comments about what i can/can't afford are oh so needed. But yes you right I would rather not start ripping out wiring because as you said it is a pain. With that said if that is the fix I would be willing to do it. Was just hopping for a easier fix before buying all new wires and re-doing the whole car.

From my car audio background people use to always talk about doing the "big 3" upgrade to help cars with weak charging systems that couldn't hold voltage. It changes the battery ground to chassis wire, the chassis to engine block wire, and the alternator plus to battery plus wire (see link below for some more details). Do you think this would be a worth wild upgrade before tearing apart the wiring in the car? I know it would be just a band-aid in comparison to redoing the whole wiring in the car but I sure as heck would be A LOT easy.
