What's the condition of your battery like? The civic has EPS (Electric Power Steering). Maybe the battery is low or not charging properly so when your manoeuvring at low revs the lights dim and the EPS becomes heavy?
It may be worth topping up your battery and putting it on charge, see if that solves it.  Wink

i get this aswell sometimes, it happens if i slow down quickly from speed, then try to do a low speed manouvre. think this was more to do with the speed-sensitive element catching up with the speed of the car though  Huh
