(1)HO Alternator,(2) battery, and (3) power capacitor.
Not likely unless you are planning to add more amps...maybe a cap.

Try adding a larger alternator to battery power wire and larger ground wires. At this point, its the most cost effective upgrades.

Its pretty normal for your dome lights to dim while your stereo is playing and your car is idling at a stop light. The only time when it becomes a problem is when you're driving around and your lights dim. When you are driving around the alternator being charged much quicker, as opposed to sitting at a stop light, that's why the slight variation in amps/volts will dim your lights.

I'm using a 200amp alternator and a 15 farad cap and my dome lights still dims while idling.
