First I'd re-adjust the tension of your alternator belt. I am assuming it is the alternator belt because you say it squeals when you turn your headlights on. I'd guess the extra current draw from the headlights would cause your alternator to engage to charge the battery and as such cause more resistance at the alternator pulley. Other option is to consider changing the fan belt again only using either OEM belt or top of line after market. I put new autozone fan belts on two different 7G's after doing their timing belts. On both cars the power steering belt squealed like a stuck pig. Nothing fixed it; tightening/loosening adjustments, belt dressing, etc. I finally bought a new Gates brand power steering belt and have not had a peep since.
