Where did you get the alternator from? Many of the aftermarket ones are problematic as they do not send out the charging indicator signal correctly.

Amazon and i just took it for a drive to see if the lights dimmed and sure enough they spiked and then dimmed, will that be a faulty voltage regulator?

That does sound like the regulator is bad.
