That symptom sound similar to Lowrider's....the light stays on either bright or dim
until the engine hits about 2K rpm during a start, hot or cold.  The regulator in
the alternator is preventing charging from occuring until the rpm of the alternator
gets to a certain point.

At least I think it is the alternator regulator.....the last three alternators have
all done it, ever since I took the first on off to be rebuilt in 1999.
