When you put it in gear, the lights dim? Sounds like a bad alternator. And that bad alternator will kill your new battery very quickly.

It wasn't by chance dark out was it. I know my interior lights(cluster and hud) dim when the auto headlights kick on.

For the ultimate, www.mralternator.com

Or any QUALITY rebuilt with a WARRANTY. Try NAPA if you can't afford the link above. Stay away from Autozone alternators.

My Bonneville'* the first car I've owned where if the battery loses connection after the car is running, it will die.
