Are these the same or different issues? It seems like they would be different but they came on at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.

My 91 Corolla did that when it was about 12 years old, I asked a Toyota mechanic and he right away said "it's your alternater" w/o even looking at the car.
So I installed a rebuilt and it worked perfect, lights went out.
Don't know if other car brands the are same, but it is a sure indicator of a bad Alternater & as another member said regulator, the 91 had both in same unit if I remember correctly.
