battery light came on

i was on the highway duin about 90 and my battery light and my brake light came on it would flicker at first then it would eventually stay on i replaced the battery and the alternator about 2 months ago i made sure the terminals were securely on car seems to run ok but my CEL was already on and i checked it a couple of weeks ago and it was my o2 sensor just wondering what else it could possibly be thanks

Batt and brake light is charging circuit, simple as that.

Have you checked what voltage it's putting out?

Check the wiring from the alternator.

If all that is good, test and replace the alt.
