Your alt is counting down to its self destruction. Get it to a independant alternator/starter repair shop stat!!

Well does ur interior lights dim when the lights went on because if they dont or even if they do i think check ur alt belt first i went in to 1 foot of water and both of the lights went on and the maybe about 15 min they went off. So cheapest part would be the belt and then go to autozone or strauss get ur alt checked and the battery.

when I pull into my driveway at night and go to roll up my windows the lights dim a pretty good bit. Exterior lights and interior Seems to be getting worse.

Chances are your other accessory belts need to be replaced as well,but if you are just going to put an alty belt on,you will need to remove the a/c compressor belt first.

Also,be sure not to over tighten the belts.
