It COULD be a bad voltage regulator, but it is more likely to be a bad 
connection between the voltage regulator and the fuse box, including a failing 
ignition key.

Look for the problem by carefully wiggling all the push-on connectors to find 
any that seem loose. Try wiggling the key while the engine is running. If this 
makes the lamp change, the ignition switch is probably the problem.
