Is it possibly a broken/missing alternator or serpentine belt? (nope just alternator light)
It can also be a failing voltage regulator within the alternator, or a failing alternator itself.
It is usually the carbon brushes in the alternator when both lights come on, it indicates a field problem with alternator
Brushes are not to hard to change on a Toyota, just remove the alternator from car, remove rear cover unscrew the brush holder and rectifier?(they are attached together) and install new brushes... you will need a soldering iron. It is a simple repair and at less than 10$ is more affordable than replacing the alternator.
VW and Volvo have removable brush holders that unscrew from back of alternator
Gm Ford and Mopar, you may have to split alternator to change brushes, there is often a small hole in back of alternator where you can use a piece of wire to keep brushes compressed when you put alternator back together
