Before you start throwing parts at your car change all the fuses to the copper/brass coloured ones if they are still the aluminum ones. Pay particular attention to fuse number 4.
Don't be too quick to change the alternator. Check to see if it is charging properly with a voltmeter. The regulator can be removed to check how much the brushes are worn. Rebuilt alternators may be cheap but most of them in my opinion are garbage unless rebuilt by Bosch. Your symptoms do not sound like an alternator problem.
