Take it to the place whos fixing your alternator and get it checked properly. Make sure it has the correct regulator fitted.
Check the wiring to the alternator as can break wires under air filter box

hopefully get it to auto sparkies tmoz, is it safe to drive it with these lights on. if i unplug the plug on back of alternater then the lights go off. soon as i plug it in the dash lights stay on

Yeah definitely sounds like the ignition feed wire to the alternator is broken
Is ok to drive just won't be charging
