Default escort cosworth dim battery light

As tittle its on constantly but obviously at night its more visable
When i brake/headlights on/windows it comes up brighter and rev counter flickers a bit

Ive had new alternator, battery, 2 new extra earth straps from battery to bulkhead and engine, and cleaned up earths and its still exactly the same

Any ideas?

Could be fuse box or ignition relay.
What does the voltmeter read ?
