First off, I didn't search before I posted this but this seems like a unique problem.

Drive-ability is not effected whatsoever but whenever I increase my speed both of the lights (Brake & Battery) flash randomly and the faster I accelerate the faster they illuminate until they look almost like a solid.

I'm gonna check the connections and what not but just wanted run this by to see if this was somewhat of a "common" problem

It happened to me last winter. It's the alternator not the connections. Driveability is not affected because you got a good battery, but start her up and drive around with the battery disconnected and see what happens. Time to spend on her again...merry christmas.

I just bought a new alternator in the spring because my other one died on me
Voltage checks out fine.

I will get a video up soon

Voltage doesn't mean anything if your amperage isnt putting out. Our amps the VE alternators make if it is a VE is 95 amps.

If you are sure your alternator from spring is ok, double check your alternator belt. Check tension and belt condition. Belt shouldn't show any "break-outs". I only use OEM belts. Make sure it isn't slipping under load or higher rpm.

Super late response and apologies with getting no video up (sourcing a computer has been difficult - let alone to up load videos on) but that's exactly what it was..the belt was just loose.

Problem solved Thank you gentlemen.

We can "close" this thread, thanks

Ur a bad man . When you drive an older car it's good to develop a habit of opening the hood and looking around every once in a great while. You just might see that something that needs attention.

Well I'm still learning my way around the maintenance routines so it was something I just so happened to overlook. I couldn't notice it with the car running because it's not like it's bam right in my face but I will know from now on so that's the main thing.
