Dimming lights and reverse lights
 

I own a 2007 civic si and i have noticed that the headlights dim at night, noticed every time a/c compressor kicks on and my reverse lights don't work at times, led bulbs from autozone, headlights dim even when i am driving dwn the road, any ideas as to what is causing this to happen? Thanks

either alternator is not charging properly or you have a short somewhere in the wiring
not sure if there is an ELD in the 2007, but in 7th gen, it can cause fluctuations in charging

And excuse my ignorance, but what is an ELD?

electronic Load detector.
starting with 7th generation, if there is not electric draining, the alternator will not charge, saving gas.
