Battery Power Fluctuation?

Hey guys, I noticed that my Trans Am's headlights pulsate, and then I looked at the battery gauge, and it seems to wiggle. Everytime it moves lower, the lights dim slightly, and it's kind of annoying. I am just worried there could be an issue in the future from this. I bought the car used, so I don't know if it has done it for a while. The battery seems to, otherwise, hold power fine.

Anybody know what might be the problem? Belt, alternator, battery? Thanks...

This is bullshit! I get a Trans Am, the tranny goes out, then the Camaro spins a rod bearing the next day, and now the tranny is fixed and the alternator is dying!

I am going to try and put the battery out of the Camaro in there, see if that helps....it's free. haha
