Okay so my car has developed 2 electrical issues. I'm not sure if they are related.
So far I've checked the major grounds, alternator and starter plugs. My battery is around 6 months old.
So here's the first issue, stereo cuts out and interior lights dim when I put on the high beams. Engine drops in revs too at times.

Last issue which I'm quite concerned about. The car seems to start whenever it wants. Everytime I turn the key I hear a loud clicking noise, naturally one would assume it's the starter solenoid but I think it may be the starter seizing. I took this video at a service station, I was trying to start it for 20+ minutes, ironically it started as soon as I started filming the problem.
The car now starts up first time everytime as if it was never faulty...

Ps. The car has also started locking the doors upon starting and unlocking them when I shut off the engine, pretty cool feature but didn't know my alarm system can do it, came out if no where.
