Default ALL lights keep dimming and then getting brighter

98 honda civic


interior lights and headlights and probably brake lights keep randomly dimming and getting bright again while im driving. not when im revving either. i can hold the gas at a certain speed/RPM and the lights would flicker. its an annoyance that is really starting to **** me off. anyone had this problem before?

Alternator maybe?

Do the poorman's test. Start your car, and then remove the negative terminal from the battery. If it dies, your alt is prolly toast. After that, take it to autozone, and have them test it. Then trade it in as a core charge for a new one.

What technical information are you bringing to the table that makes you doubt it's the alternator?
