Just bought the above which is 4 year old. In the dark when you rev the engine all the lights seem to brighten noticeably, do I have a problem or is this normal.

That is not normal. Something electrical is messed up.... I saw this happen on a buddies Mercury Sable wagon - I'd guess that as the alternator spools up it's generating more voltage. Maybe the regulator is damaged.
If you press the accelerator while cruising do the lights brighten with increases in RPM, and then when it shifts gears and drops RPMs do the lights diminish in intensity?
Yes, rev up and lights go up.
I'd take a guess at the alternator... maybe just the regulator.
