I'd put money on the reg being in the back of the alternator but you should still be able to replace it with a new one without needing a complete alternator.

Sounds like the voltage regulator to me, a Volvo I used to own did the same, you'll need to fit a new regulator sooner than later 'cos you'll go through bulbs like theres no tomorrow & boil the battery dry too.
