Wouldn't it be if they don't brighten a little when stepping on the pedal, I know that my system generates about 13.1 volts at idle with the headlights on, and goes up to 14.1 volts if I rev it over 2,000rpm. (I have a voltmeter gauge in my car) if the lights do not brighten when reving it a little, I'd think there's a voltage regulator problem (not charging and not giving enough juice).
