it will probably fit, but it won't stop your lights dimming... just cos the engine is high performance, it doesn't need any more electricity to run it. what you need is a heavy duty one, maybe from a diesel model and also more battery power. perhaps you need to look at a split charger and a second battery... caravans have them and they are not too much money.

My ICE experience is fairly limited because i'm slightly deaf and my taste in music does not keep up with the times, but even giving your battery a good charging every so often will help.
