Hi everyone,
            I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer. I've only had it for
about a month.

The week i bought it the battery died on me after i was sitting in the
car for approx 20 minutes waiting for a friend (had the radio running,
that was about it). Ever since then i've been abit paranoid about it
dieing again. I've noticed lately that at night the dashboard lights
get brighter if i increase the revs when idling, and dim again when the
revs drop. Also i notice a similar thing happening when i indicate, the
dash will flash bright/dim with the indicator.

Is this an alternator problem? does the alternator need to be replaced
or is it a simpler fix???

Any input appreciated.
