Re: amp and light problem in 2000 v6 stang

I would check the amp draw on your new unit. It appears you need a higher amp alternator or your present alternator isn't performing up to specifications.
You can buy an amp meter which you lay on the main wire and check if your alternator is going bad. This link shows a picture of one.
