Car Trouble
**Quick Note - 94 Civic VX hatch with a JDM D15B, p08 ecu, and D15B tranny just swapped in 2 weeks ago, also I have 8000k HIDs)
Ok so last night the car died - didnt have my cd player and amp cut on, was only running air (not ac) and headlights) . I think hmotors sent me a faulty dizzy (replaced at my initial swap) and alternator. I was driving and noticed my gauge cluster lights were extremely dim. Next thing i know my speedo and tach bounce from min to max for about 2 minutes then drop to zero. After that i pull into a shopping center and my headlights and corners cut off as soon as i get in. I turn the car off and try to recrank it and it turns over once then starts clicking. I let it sit for about 15 minutes till the tow truck gets here and decide i wanna try and crank it and it barely cranks. My gauge lights come on with normal illumination but only one HID fires. So I get home and I crank it up and pull it off the wrecker - when i tried to crank it i turned my corners on and they almost cut off when I try and crank it because I have no power. Does this sound like an alternator problem??? If so I am getting one and installing it today.
Also I just bought the car so I have no idea when the battery was replaced. Thanks in advance for the help.

anybody have any ideas? I gotta find out asap because I am going to get the alternator replaced here soon. If its not an alt. problem I might as well use the money to try something else.
