Due to the layout of the cd20 in a Serena it is not uncommon for the alternator too run at high temperatures. However the alternators that were fitted originally were capable of dealing with the required heat stresses. As long as the alternator is a good quality one it is normal. These engines do use alternator belts quickly so that is not unnusual.
hope this helps.
The alternator on your 1999 Nissan Maxima can be found on the front of the engine. The alternator will be on the right hand side of the engine.

With engine running at idle you should read 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery.
A 97 Maxima can have these symptoms because of a bad alternator. If the alternator has low output there can be a ticking and eventually the engine will stop running.
Check the alignment of your pully and also look for a cracked or broken pully.
I have a 1995 Nissan Sentra and the same thing happened to me about two weeks ago. The problem was a wire going from the alternator had gone bad. So your problem can be the same thing or the alternator. I had just replaced my alternator so I knew it had to be something else.

Depending on how dim, it could be your battery, alternator, or poor power supply at the headlight socket. Poor power supply meaning corroded wires causing high voltage drop. Have the battery and alternator tested and go from there.
