Sounds like a wiring issue with the lights. If it was the alternator you would other things cutting out as well... like the engine. I would guess a wire related to the headlights is attached to both the engine and the body and is being pulled on when then engine moves when shift gears etc. Another possibilty might be a would faulty ground strap between the engine and the body... but I think you would notice the instrument cluster blanking out as well if that were the case.
