Well if your car is a manual i think i know what the problem is, as i went through this in my pickup. Everytime i push the clutch in the lights got brighter, BECAUSE my chassis was not grounded, thus when i pushed in my clutch, it created a stronger ground to my dash. Perhaps your situation is somewhat the same...i would check all my grounds and make sure your chassis and body are grounded.

Also check to see how well it is charging. Take a multimeter while the engine is idling and check the voltage on the battery. It should read right around 14.3 volts at the battery.
