Well it's obviously going to put a load on your engine, just like any accessory in your car is going to, but if it's getting to the point that you have to turn it off, then you don't have enough grounding. Replace you battery ground or clean it up and add at least another one. I added about a foot and half section of ground to my shock tower and it took care of my lights dimming and now im finially running at a tad above 13V.

I have the factory ground that goes to the backside of the engine, and i added another ground from the battery to the left shock tower.
