The dimming effect you have observed is ordinary and common to quite a few Subarus...
If it bothers you to the point where you want to do something about it, I might suggest converting to LED brake lights- the reduced current draw will make for less of a voltage drop.
I haven't seen an aftermarket voltage regulator.
For later models, you could consider using freeSSM to artificially raise the idle.
