replace the alternator
DO NOT use and aftermarket reman unit from Pep Boys or NAPA etc. etc. as you will only be replacing it again in a few weeks/months
Go to the dealership and get a factory reman unit, yes you will pay more but you won't be replacing it again in a few months

Oh yea, to make this `appropriate'... `Ditto on the getting a genuine Nissan alternator.' :-)

Thanks everyone! I am keeping an eye on the problem, but unless my diagnosis is wrong the problem was .... dirty battery terminals/cables! i had been putting off cleaning them - never remembered to buy club soda at the grocery store! well i cleaned the terminals and posts and reinstalled and have strong headlights, strong starting, and no issues. if the issue re-occurs then my diagnosis is ... well wrong. :)

Thanks Wil,
Hope your holiday season was as enjoyable as mine.
It is good to be back, I guess I just needed a break for a while.
