Default 04 dodge ram 1500 wiring

Ok guys I need help with the wiring on my truck! I'm having trouble with my lights dimming loss of power I can't hook up nothing without my lights flashing does anybody have any ideas?? I've changed the alternator to a high output and I have hid's on my truck and leds on the back for all three! Now interior I have an aftermarket radio but I've gone over it plenty of times and everything is wired right so I'm thinking of just having the truck completely rewired do they have kits to do this and if so where?

try disconnecting the wiring harness from the stereo, and see if it takes away your issues

Before you buy a new fuse box take apart your old one and see if the board is corroded.
You have to drill out the tabs in the middle of the box, but you can put it back together and use it, if its ok. They are not cheap..

Weedahoe I've already done the big three upgrade I've ran 0 ga on all three but nothing it still does the same so I think I'm going to have to look into the fuse box as I have learned these are not water tight and if you go through I good size puddle you could damage it so that's my next conquer!
