there isn't anything wrong with your alternator.try turning on the oem lights only and check voltage.i think those extra lights may be your culprit.if this is a 201 or 124 the charging system was marginal anyway.i seem to remember that if you start those cars on a hot day,turn on air,and aux fan starts,after about ten mins you could watch the voltage drop slowly as the alternator could not keep up with demand at idle.
