Default Alternator Replaced / New Battery

I am at wits end with my Integra (88). I am almost certain it is an electrical issue. I just replaced the alternator and got a brand new Interstate battery. It worked for two days until yesterday. I was driving and I noticed the dash lights were particularly dim; I looked at the clock and it was fading away and it died!

The car starts up with a jump, but it barely made it back home; it sputtered and would not kick back up once I had it parked. One thing that strikes me as weird is that the left headlight opened up one day and refused to close since. It did it before but it always dropped. Am I on to something?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

how about taking it to a shop and getting it tested?. there are chances that a new battery could be a dudd, or perhaps your new alternator has a shot resistor or brush inside.
-sounds like a bad alternaor)
since they are both new, im sure u have some sort of warrenty on them

Default Supposed to . . .

have the car tested this weekend. Any ideas what it could be if it isn't either the battery or alternator? She worked like a champ through a pretty fierce winter and made it through most of the spring.

I'm still guessing electrical. Anybody ever have similar issues?
