when pressing gas pedal at idle i notice that the instrument cluster lights and head lights glow higher could it be alternator problem?
note:the battery is ok and alternator output is measured and its ok also

I have this happen on my car as well. I don't believe it's a problem. I've done the testing as well. On the charge when the car is running. I think it's just that it gets a little more of a kick when the gas is pressed. I would think it's a problem if they dimmed though.

Do you have a sound system, something that draws alot of power?
