Sounds like it, just had the same problem and yet it showed charging when I did the multimeter test. Alternator was overcharging, voltage regulator, hence blown battery bulb.............. New alternator and bulb fitted by local auto electric place.

gaw, Thats a bit of a pig to change. If it is the
Alternator, does sound like it. Have a look at the
Guide on repairing alternator, worth a look.
Failing that i found vx did an exchange service
That worked out best for me.
Hope helps.
