All cars lights dim when the idle dips below a certain point(close to stall). A weak battery can also cause this. That's not an issue more so than a symptom of another problem, in this case the idle dip.

When my compressor cycles on my car I notice the lights dim for a split second. My battery was recently determined to be on the weak side according to the guys who changed my oil. So, normal and expected.
