Headlights dim after starting

Hey Yoyoman,
I have the exact same problem with my 98 V70. 5 to 15 seconds after starting the lights dim as if the voltage is being dropped a few volts. It's very predictable. I tried a new battery with no change in the situation. Driving at night with rain is dangerous with this problem. The Volvo shop I use was useless. I'm still working on finding the fault. I've read that some people just swap their headlight systems over to an HID system, but something is causing a voltage drop and certainly the cause has been documented somewhere. I just wish I could find out where!
