Have you checked that the alternator is charging?

My bet would be the regulator. Typical symptoms are almost goes out at 1-2000 rpm but glows a little more brightly at higher revs. Battery doesn't go flat but is being overcharged. If you check with a multimeter across the terminals at 3000 rpm + you will find voltage above 15 ish.

could also be feedback from through your warning lamp - solved by adding a diode into the circuit...I had this on a bright six module.
