Lemon Law

So here's the deal, On my 00 Olds Intrigue when driving at night the headlights flicker, Hell everything in the car that lights up all dim. The motor even kicks down and feels like its going to die. It did this since the very first night that I bought it. So my 30day/1000 mile warranty threw the dealership I researched the problem and found out that it is a very common thing among these cars will little to no known fix anywhere. One thing I found from my research was that the alternator could be the issue and they said to replace with this certain replacement alternator. With a good part of a day arguing with the dealership threatening to just return the car and wipe my hands of it they did as I asked and replaced a "perfectly good alternator" for the part number of the one I wanted. Well by time this all took place and I had them actually replace the entire rack and pin my month was past and this damn headlight flicker is still there!!

So tonight I am driving home and this problem has just gotten worse with time. The lights basically cut completely out and I have just gotten to the point now where something needs to be done. Every single shop I bring it to just shrug their shoulders and say we have no clue why it does this. Naturally shops are closed in the evening and I can't duplicate this during the day for them to see it with their own eyes. I get people flashing their lights at me thinking that I am tring to flash them or something, I think that one of these times a cop is going to see it and think there is some booming system in there dimming my lights so bad and some late night I am going to get pulled over because of it. Also there is the side of it that you never know, Those lights could dim at just the right time and a flipping deer is going to run out and I won't see it until its to late.

So! Anyone familiar with the lemon law coughStevecough that there is some way for me to go after GM to do something about this?
