14.7 volts, to high?

I found truck to not be charging yesterday, stopped by Napa picked up a regulator, installed and cut the foam out of the old regulator, it had a burnt spot in it. The truck charged 14.7 volts after start up and mid throttle, battery had been on slow charge all day today, and charger removed just before start up.

One other problem I found was a burnt out headlamp, could I still have charging system problem with my 14.7 volts, my lights are super bright, I don't want to burn out more bulbs, and another regulator if I still have something wrong somewhere. What do some of your other 1st gens charge at, I have never checked mine before today with a digital multi meter. Thanks Jon
