This an amateur answer , the light dimming sounds like the alternator
wasn't charging the battery at the time. Batteries if left for awhile don't
really recharge but they will output enough power to start a car again and
the alternator will charge it . I would guess you have a bad ground or
connection . Why did you replace the battery and alternator in the first
place ?
