Default Headlights dim when turning

Noticed today (admittedly while I was at a stop / moving slow, I was parallel parking) that my headlights will dim down when turning.

Anyone else notice this? I know these trucks have the EPA steering and wondered if it normally draws *this* much? The faster I turned it the harder the lights would dim but it didn't take much at all.

Also I'm getting that damn driver side door rattle now....

Never had that issue with mine. If it does dim it does so little that i've never noticed, and I normally notice stuff like that.

Kinda how I feel about it. It will go in for an oil change and rotation soon after the holidays and I'll take it in at that point and let them work it over.

Maybe a bad alternator, or a loose wire, or ground somewhere.... All guesses of course...


Hope your dealer fixes, the Issues...

Yeah I'm not sure but electrical issues are the absolute worst. Thank goodness for warranty.
