How do you fix a Catalytic Converter yourself for a 1994 Chevy Truck?
Battery has zero to do when the car is running. the entire electrical load is on the alternator. If lights are dimming with the car running, your alternator would be the first suspect. second would be that your idle is not fast enough to satisfy the electrical load. As for the belt tension, I'd say that a loose belt would be more of a problem than one that's too tight.Could you please give me your opinions and feedback?
I would replace the battery, perhaps you have a lot of accesories in your car such as an amp and other random stereo whatever and you need a battery that can handle a larger load.Maybe your battery cables just need to be cleaned. If so just pour a coke on them (it has to be coke brand though, not coke in general). Check and tighten the connection to your battery and cables.

If they only dim when the car is idle is it probably your alternator taking a crap on you. if anything with the belts you have one that is too loose. I would say to have the alternator checked out and see where it goes from there.Please help my car is driving me mad?
All of the above except the switch. You may not even have a problem as at idle with your lights on you are not getting as much "power" to the lights till you rev up. The normal idle voltage on a full charged battery with your lights on should be around 13 to 13.5 volts and about 13.8 with them off.my Grand Am SE does this automatically. I believe it is just a battery save feature that you can't fix. If not, then it's something else.

Most likely you problem is cause by a slowing the engine idle of your car. What year is your car. Newer cars require a computer adjustment to idle the car up older cars will have an adjustment near the carburetor or throttle body. It should idle between 750 to 900 rpm at idle depending on the number of cylinders. Try to idle the car up a bit. If that's not it it could be any of the things you mentioned.
