Re: weird problem
Check your ground from the engine to the car body.

Re: weird problem
Altenator maybe, but if the car shakes as the light dims, then it sounds like the idle's too low. A low idle when the brakes are applied could indicate a faulty brake booster so that when the plunger is depressed it creates a vacuum leak. Use a vacuum testor to see if the brake booster holds vacuum when the brakes are at rest, and engaged.
