possibly your alternator, or your battery. Take them off, take them to autozone or advanced and have them load tested for you (for free). More than likely this is your alternator.

Yeah, at higher RPM's your alternator is charging a little, but probably not what it should and at lower RPM's with no foot on the gas it is charging so little or not at all the light comes on. Could be your battery too, but sounds like alternator as with a battery the light usually doens't come on before the car starts to struggle to start for awhile.

What year is your ride? How many miles? Who did the work? How much? Just curious because I figure mine will go out eventually.
