Are you running a high powered audio system? You may need a capacitor. That would be an easier fix than a serious electrical problem.

Have your battery checked, along with your alternator and battery connections.

Mine does this at idle only. If I rev the engine at all, everything stays bright. I figure it is just a weak battery.
