At least his tail lights are unhooked. For a second I was worried and thought his glovebox bulb might have been bad.

You only have a problem at 20 MPH? then drive faster - LOL!

How about other speeds?
Checked your alternator voltage? Use this:

Try an auxiliary harness. Outlined here in several threads.

It routes power directly from your battery to your lights rather than going through the switch... All the swtich does after install is activate the relays.

I had the same problem.

Mine ended up being the contacts in the alternator were WAY worn out. Replaced it, now mine's fine.
