The internal regulator inside the alt is probably going....it caused the 'spike' in voltage and the alternator shut down (the dimming) and when it cooled down enough, started to work again. I would replace the regulator, and make sure the contacts are CLEAN and getting full contact. A good suggestion might be to put a HD regulator in since you'll be opening the case anyhow.
