While driving in the dark and downpour last evening, my interior lights, dashboard lights and headlights would dim when I depressed the brakes, turned on the wipers or used the turn signals. It continued that way through the whole drive home

Because of the rain, your serpentine belt might have been slipping causing your alternator not to spin. If you have not had any symptoms like this after the down pour, I wouldn't worry. Let me know
