You probably just have a weak alternator the first thing i would do is have the alternator and battery tested.Also make sure your battery cable's are clean and tight.

So what does the battery voltage read with the light's on?Are your battery cable's clean and tight?Your going to have to check the voltage going into the alternator with the head light's on and see where your loosing the supply voltage into your alternator.
