Default Grounding kits, a joke?

Does anyone have experience with grounding kits, are they a joke? or do they actually help?

When the car idles and you rev it the lights get brighter would the grounding kit fix that?

Oh no its right. Its just supposed to minimized the dim of the lights. Like when your are coming up to a red light, and the lights arent as bright, its supposed to make them a little brighter. Its just to smooth over your electrics a little better.

Import Tuner - November 06' - Orange Custom Wide Body NSX on the cover. "Five Horsepower More For Under A Buck" - this guy made a grounding kit and placed it in very particular spots on his K24 swapped CRX and made 5whp gain.
When i intalled my Greddy Grounding kit on my Eclipse way back when i didn't notice any performance gain but i did notice a smoother accelleration. None the less, it can't hurt, and i think it cost me like 15 bucks shipped...
