Default Electrical Problems

Hey guys, I was just driving tonite and all of a sudden the lights on my dash went really dim and then got normal and went dim and this continued for a few minutes and now it is back to normal, I was wondering if you guys think it is serious or if it is just a slight fluke. I have a 99 2.8 A4. Thanks!

It was only the dash, is there a way to test the alternator?
