I changed my alternator today. When I was done I drove it to work and my battery light was flickering on and off. On my way home the battery light kept flickering on and off and my lights where getting dim. When I got home my lights where really dim then my battery died. What could be wrong?

That indicates that you still have a problem with the charging system and the alternator may not have been the problem in the first place or the unit you installed may be defective or not installed correctly.
