Which lights ? Dash or outside?

Outside

Do they dim much? You do often find that the lights dim slightly when turning the steering wheel, just where it's drawing the power from the battery for the power steering under load

My mums Ibiza does the same - they blame the alterantor but too expensive to replace considering the mileage it does.

Might be worth getting it checked just incase it's a sign the power steering is on it's way out...
