    Caleb,
    I think that indicates a charging issue. Switching to LEDs is not going to help that. Go up this thread and look in posplayer signature for checking the charging system.

      I found this summer that when the headlight was on and in traffic i would signal at a light everything would dim when the signal lights came on (sometimes would even stall out)
      At low RPM's, there's not enough power generated, so the battery covers the rest. Results in slight dimming if the battery isn't super-fresh, or something is amiss with the generator and/or R/R, as already said. Shouldn't completely die though, if it does, most likely your R/R is on its way out. Replace it as soon as possible, or you risk damage to all kinds of eletrical components.

      Source: This forum, and had the exact same symptoms, but got off light with a few burned out bulbs and damaged battery.

      If you have a known good R/R, then you have to replace your stator, but if I'm not mistaken, it's not as pressing. You will need to charge your battery all the time though.
