Mine sorta does that too, it's just the power window motors drawing more energy than normal cuz it's trying to force your window through your door @_@

I haven't had my interior lights go out completely though, maybe a slight slight dimming....

could be a bad ground, or a bad alternator voltage regulator. hook up a volt meter and monitor it for a while.
