when you use any kind of electrical component in your vehicle, it draws power from the battery , which in turn the alternator replaces.... you might want to get your alternator checked at your local autozone / advance auto as it might not be generating the output needed...this is the usual case...a simple test you can do is start your car... disconnect your positive battery cable...if the car stays running turn on your headlights, radio , wipers, and if the car stalls out... your alternator needs replacing....( note the fact that in most every vehicle...there will be some "dimming" of lights when you use electrical components....)
