1983 MB 300D Headlights flicker during acceleration.

[Diesel1]

Hi,

I noticed a strange electrical issue with my 1983 MB 300D (161K) this evening. While accelerating the headlights and interior lights flicked from normal to dim, at a consistent fast rate. This occurs only during acceleration either while moving or idling. When I remove my foot from the accelerator on the highway and coast the lights are normal.

I do not use the car much at night so I don't know how long this has been happening. The car runs great even with this issue.

As always thanks in advance.
