alternator or battery or.....

when driving my lights and dash lights are bright and fine but when i slow and stop at a light or stop sign or whatever they dim way now. is my battery not holding charge or the alternator not sending enough?

It's the alt. When the engine is running the battery becomes part of the load on your charging system just like the stereo. If you want to fix the problem you need to get a high output alt.
