Hey rysz34, no it seems to turn just fine. Just started noticing it. For example, when I drive to work and when I leave, which is at night. I start the car, turn the wheel, I start to notice my headlights dim and the rpm gauge drops below 1k.

You can ask a mechanic about it, but that sounds normal to me. My car does it too. I'll check with my mechanic and see what he says.

Wizz--I agree, Bosch Plugs are terrible...I was curious about the wires because I just bought some and don't wany any problems....I was seeing if you knew something I didn't.

Bumpin--I misspoke, I meant upgraded as in newer than what is on there, not upgraded like "you'll get 100+ hp gain and 35+mpg gain with this product" LOL. j/k...but not upgraded like a perfomance upgrade.

The power steering pump is a big drain on the electrical system. So when you turn you'll notice it can dim your lights and what night. The only time you have to worry about dimming lights is if it happens between certain rpm ranges. That's usually an indicition that there is something wrong. Now of course if you have any kind of sound system ignore all of that, because thats your biggest drain.
