As the title of the topic states "This is a new noise is it normal" so I assumed you were trying to further discuss the noise that you've already queried, that'll teach me to assume :confused:

Anyhow it would still be the same answer that you need to bring up your queries with Hyundai, imo the lights shouldn't dim like that but I've no idea why it's happening  :undecided:
Sorry I mean my lights dim

Lights dimming is perfectly normal.

It can be a result of any of the following conditions

  • RPM of alternator
  • Electrical load
  • Voltage regulator cut in / cut out
  • Batteries ability to accept charge
  • All Eathing pionts and + contact points
All perfectly normal to me.
Ok thanks

Unlike carby cars that have a set screw and spring to reduce the revs quickly, the ecu would reduce the fuel flow to the injectors according to it's factory programming.

Later model carby engines sometimes were fitted with a dashpot to also slow the return idle speed.

Any of you blokes actually checked if your car's lights dim when activating the EPS?
If Mr's dimmed like the OP's I'd be off to an auto sparky ASAP.
Here's Mr's taken tonight, high beam, low beam, aircon you name it, makes no difference to the lights.
Haven't seen dimming like the OP's since cars of the 60's.

I agree, I've never noticed other cars doing that and mine never dimmed either before or after I changed my lights to HID's.

Given that the alternator pulley is clutched, that behavior could be explained by the fact that when charging the lights vary and when not charging increasing engine rpm won't cause any difference as they are simply fed from the battery.

Well, that's the rear window demister and in some models, the two external mirror heaters as well. This is a significant electrical load compared to normal driving, so normal IMO.
