Help! Headlights

I got a serious pulse with the idle of the motor and it's starting to **** me off so ima buy a new altenator and rewire the headlights with bigger wire and relays and see what happens

does your truck have the voltage regulator on the fire wall,,,if it does thats probably whats making the surge,,or at least that was what was wrong with mine,,also check your ground from the battery to the core support that was broken on my truck and it would burn up voltage regulaters and blow my headlights ,,,,goodluck,,,

I would bet that if you installed the relays for the headlights, that is would help.
