lights dim when honk horn

when i'm driving the head lights dim if i hoink the horn, only when i honk it...

new battery, alternator, battery cables, and drive belt. all stock pullies.

my guess is the shop that installed the cables installed one end of the negative to ac drive where it connects to the idler pulley..
i'd like to hook it up to the stock location, does anyone have a picture of the stock location under the car?
thanks
shane

*HONK* If Your Lights Dim

The battery is supposed to be grounded in two places.

The thinner wire is supposed to go to the inner fender.

The heavier wire is supposed to bolt to the block.


Happy Racing!
