Accord LX 2.4L 4 cyl

Just bought my 08 Accord LX sedan 4 cyl 2 months ago, After 2 days, I noticed that the headlights start flickering every 20 - 30 sec aprox. I went to the "Classic Honda" dealer 2 times, they said "its NORMAL". This is a safety issue, because it is distracting. Also, other drivers think that I am flashing my lights at them.

The headlights dim when the ac unit fan kicks on and off. This happens all the time while running the temp control. Honda checked it 3 times and the best they can come up with is that it is normal and there is no fix for it (Deal with it) I have seen postings on other sites of several other people having this issue to.

On the 2008 Accord, the headlights dim periodically as the radiator fan cycles on and off. After two trips to the dealer, they say there is no fix, that's just the way it is. B.S. A new Accord just unloaded off the transport at the dealer lot did the same thing.
They also claim that there is a regulator that Honda started using in the early nineties that causes this. To date, we've driven two 1996 Accords, two 1998 CR-Vs, a 2001 Civic, 2007 Accord and now the 2008 Accord and none have exhibited this problem till the 2008 model.

Accord EX-L Navi 2.4L 4 cyl
I have the brand new accord for less than a month and I am starting to notice the same light flickering problem as others. The flickering occurs when the heater and/or the AC is on, or whenever the car is looking for more electricity. It is very dangerous for night time driving, especially on dark country road. It is very annoying along with many other deficiencies of the vehicle.
