Bad alternator?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbloXAS5N2k&sns=em

This is what happens when I turn on the headlights .
It's blown 3 pairs of HID's and when I turn the music a lil loud it squeaks real real loud.

What are you doing when this is going on ?

Looks to be running, but cannot hear any engine noise.

Hear a few clicks gauges sweep like a battery on the way out.

The last one looks like turning at least the parking lamps off and back on, but was that the only thing that the clicks were ?

Have you load tested the battery ?

Have you had the alternator tested ?

When was the last time you changed the belt ?

Any other modifications beside the HIDs ?
