First thing is check the belt. I know its basic but usually when the 
regulator/alternator is failing your will see the light flickering, on dim 
for a while before it actually goes on full blast.  When the belt shreds 
(which mine did a couple months ago)  the light comes on right away full 
blast and stays there.  

The regulator is ( I think) the EASIEST part to change on the car. it is on 
the backside of the alternator held on by two little screws pull the old one 
and slap in the new and you are done.  If it is not the belt it might be the 
regulator,  Pull the regulator and if the brushes are worn down I think 6 
millimeters is the limit then it should be replaced. Good luck
