I have recently bought a new battery, alternator and checked all wires and fuses. But when I drive my car I can be driving perfectly fine. The battery light will be on but I cannot figure out why. It will start normally and then when I stop at a light or to pull in somewhere the car will just die completely and can't start it again. Sometimes I cant even turn on the lights without it dying...what could this be?

Well the light is on that’s should be A concern to me
and need to be checked
with car running you need to check battery volts it should be at about 14.5 v
if not you have a charging system failure
and need to be checked
check for power at the alternator
good luck
