HELP! Lights dim when at idle

Just installed a new alternator and double checked all connections. As well as getting the battery tested too.

When I push the clutch in and let the rpms fall, they will fall and the car will either dim the lights or the car will stall out... Not sure what the problem is!

Thanks In Advance

Check your grounds and all your wires.

All of your wires to and from the battery, to your lights, and to your alternator again.
