    I've noticed that the headlights on my 2005 Elantra dim momentarily
    whenever the A/C compressor kicks on. Could this indicate a faulty
    alternator or what?

    i think that normal, unless its makling them really low, im winter i turn on
    rear defrost idling to warm up at night and u can see small fluctuation that
    goes away soon as u turn what ever on

    Jody's correct. The dimming is due to the momentary voltage drop due to
    the large instantaneous draw from the compressor clutch engaging.
