Default when is capacitors used?

Just to add alittle to the Headlight dimming and the cap issue. Take the
cars charging system. Simulations lack Time Lag for the Regulator to pick up
on a Voltage fluctuation. Not to mention that the Cars electrical system is
run buy the alt when running. WHen demads are high enough the Alt cannot
keep up and we have Voltage sag, which inturn drops the enitire voltage of
the charging system.

Seeing that almost all electrical components are in parallel with the Alt
and battery. That fluctuation will be felt throughout the electrical system.
So those that say if a 50A draw causes a 1V flucuation at the amp that sag
will be produced throughout the entire system.

Not to mention that most auto manufactures do not use the best techniques
for wiring Headlights. Their are reasons why wpoplw rewire Headlights with
Bigger Ga. Wire, Relay's and use the Head light switch wiring for Relay
activation.
