Lights dim

Well I have been driving my truck EVERYWHERE lately because this puppy is finally road worthy and safe (relatively of course) and I've been noticing that when I come to a stop light and it idles down, when I take off the lights get a little bit brighter. Also, when I hit the manual electric fan switch, the gauges all get a shade or two dimmer. It's not an emergency but after all the time and money I've put in I want it tip top ya know? It's got a bran new Powermaster 105A alternator, and all I have for amperage draw is my dual electric fans, the MSD Pro Billet HEI, the factory gauge cluster with 3 Autometer 2 1/16" ultra light gauges, and a 6" Autometer tachometer. When I installed the new alternator a few weeks back, I used good heavy gauge wire, good connections, and everything is wired correctly now that I've scoured through the nightmare that was my wiring.
