voltage light on dash acting up

[Geordie]

It's been some time since I posted to this list. I think I had all I could
take of my car and just decided to avoid it for awhile.

Anyway....

So I just noticed the other day that the voltage warning light on my
instrument panel is dimly lit at night. Well, I guess it's always dimly lit,
but it looks fairly bright at night; I don't notice it in the day. I checked
the battery with a hydrometer and all the cells are good, but I can't
imagine this light is dimly lighting itself for no reason.

I'm thinking alternator here. I have heard that on some cars (GM comes to
mind) the light will faintly light up when the voltage regulator is starting
to go. Could this hold true for the '82 Coupe? Any insight into this matter
would be appreciated, especially those of the btdt variety.
