have you had your charging system checked? it's always possible that you have either a tired alternator or battery and the draw from all yours lights is using up too much power at idle

I would definitely check these. does it have problems starting up?
After you start the car, turn EVERYTHING you can on and see what happens.

Does the dash battery/charge turn on when the lights are on?

What voltage do you measure across the battery posts with engine idling versus with the engine idling and the lights on?
