Sounds like it could be a weak alternator or battery. I don't know electrical though, I'm just bullshitting.

It could be if the headlights are dim when they're on too, what does your voltmeter read?

weak batt is wut it sounds like. With your car not running turn all the lights on, and step on the breaks and look for it to dim. If it does dim then u kno ur problem is most likely batt but still could be alt.
