Default Need some help with a engine part

Hey All I have a 1994 Prelude with a H23A DOHC VTEC swap. Now I’ve been having a couple of issues starting the car and sometimes the clock light flicker and the radio light does not turn on. When I drive sometimes the check engine light turns on and the RPM idles at 2k also when I turn on the headlights the cluster starts flickering. I did change out the spark plugs and changed the oil because I thought that was the issue mainly the idle at 2k and rough starting issues but that didn’t fix it. Now I suspect that the alternator is failing or the battery is failing. I wanted to get a second opinion before I start just buying and throwing parts towards it. Also since it is a JDM motor where exactly would I get parts from thanks.
