Default Electrical Problems

Im pretty much just ranting. I think that my voltage regulator went out on me and started taking things out along with it.

Symptoms.. My dash cluster regulator wasnt working right, and the gauges were all pegged high, so I changed that, and they work, but my fuel gauge drops to a quarter tank but will still have 10 gallons in it. Then my driver side headlight went out.. I replaced it, everything was good. But my radio started to act up. At idle it works fine but if i get the RPMS up above idle my amp cuts out. (which usually indicates a bad ground but that is good, so too much voltage input)

So this morning i drive to work and one of my buddies says that he saw me come into the parking lot with both headlights on and then drive around the corner and when he saw me again only one of them was on, and my tail lights werent working at all.. So Im stuck on the ship tonight (on duty) but tomorrow I will check my voltage output from the alternator and see what the heck is going on. I hope I didnt fry anything. I dont see how all but one of my lights would be out though.. Weird. Hopefully i didnt burn up all of my bulbs somehow. It sucks.
