Alternator Not Charging Battery And Dash Light Not Coming On

[Altair6681]

Hi when i bought my vl the alternator that was in it was smoking (was a hatachi unit) so I replaced it with a new one and connected it all up positive wire from battery terminal to alternator post and light and sense wire connected (needed an adapter though), however my dash light for the alternator doesn't come on, I even tried changing the bulbs in the dash to see if that was the cause still didn't work also hooked up a multimeter to the battery and it was at 11.8 volts while the car was running and dipped when rev's were brought up in other words discharging, I'm stumped on what to check any help or suggestions is appreciated.
