your idiot lights coming on slightly sounds to me like low voltage, measure across your battery wtih your car running, should be approx 14volts.

The lights are telling you that you need to change your Alternator. Here is a how to if you need itAlt.

THanks for the help guys...since I'd just had the alternator replaced at my local shop 3 months ago, I had assumed it couldn't be the alt. but it was, so now my car's getting it replaced at no cost...thank you for your help
