Default question about ......

not sure if this is normal... but when i was paying attention to my lights in the garage... when i pressed the accelerator the light got a lil brighter... and as the rpm would fall to normal range it would dim a lil bit and if i press acc again its get brighter... is that normal?

For halogen yes, when you press the accelerator your amprage increases thus suppling your headlights with the right ammount of energy. At idle the amprage drops thus the reduction in brightness.

Can you make the title something more descriptive? How about "question about headlights" or something.
Only the really bored are going to open this thread and half of us won't have anything constructive to say.
