Voltage regulator? Bad ground(s)? Checked the connectors on that fat alternator cable for corrosion?

What volts should they put out on our Dodges. Mine is an 88 & just today I was wondering Since my volt meter was showing about 12.5volts.
.Is this why my lights are so Yellow at night. .I've changed out & put in new light bulbs about 3 times & I still can't see much at night.

Generally you should see 13-14 volts when running.
