you only need one post.what do you call reving the crap out of the engine?my lights are dim untill i revup to 1000rpm if you have to rev higher then that you must be having a short in your electrical system that would also explain why this happens after a car wash if you get water on or in and around your electrical system then you will continously have this issue check and see if your battier terminals are wet after you get your car wash they might even be loose causing a bad conecction ---

You should start with a coolant temp. sensor, and then have the charging system (alternator, battery) and grounds checked. Possible thermostat or coolant flush might be good too. ---
