Yup sounds like the voltage regulator is going out. I would bust out the voltmeter to confirm this.

I had similar symptoms, but mine was worst. The headlights and dash lights would keep dimming until I gunned the truck. After I changed the alternator, the problem was solved.

also... check your battery connection as well. When I had the alternator changed... I still minor electrical issues. I actually had a on/off knob thingy on my battery terminal. But after I removed it and directly connected the wires to the battery, all remaining issues were solved.
