When I turn on my turn signals, I notice that other lights [brake, indicator] dim. Is that normal?

Yep, your battery my be either dying or dead. It should be minimized if your battery is in top shape, or you can set your idle a little higher. Better to check the battery first though.

If you have a voltmeter check the potential on the terminals while the engine is off, should be around 12v.
