Have you, perchance, got headlamp washers? (You should see something like a washer nozzle next to the light). That can give that impression - its just the water squirting over the lamp.

Sounds like you have a bad grounding issue with your electrics under the hood.

Been screwed by aamco the transmission place.?

it can happen if the battery is low or the wiring is bad or the pump old or on the fritz. turning on the wash turns on a motor that takes up part of the current that goes to the lights, but its not supposed to be noticeable.

I have a Peugeot 406 (Y reg) and thought that I had the same problem. I got my son to operate the wipers and saw that at the same time that he sprayed the windscreen another spray popped up and sprayed the lights giving the impression that the headlights were dimming!
