It has failed diodes and must be replaced. Never had one fail on me and glow red! Check for shorts in the main power cables, both ground and positive.

A glowing red alternator could indicate a few different problems: overcharging, short circuit, or a damaged alternator belt.
If the alternator is producing too much voltage (i.e., overcharging), it can cause the alternator to overheat and the internal wiring to glow red. This could be due to a faulty voltage regulator or a damaged alternator.
On the other hand, a short circuit in the electrical system can cause excessive current to flow through the alternator, again leading to overheating and the glowing red appearance. A short circuit can be caused by damaged wiring or a malfunctioning component in the electrical system.
If your alternator belt is loose or damaged alternator belt, it can cause the alternator to work harder than it should, triggering it to glow red.
In any case, this is a serious issue that should be addressed immediately to prevent further damage to the electrical system. It's recommended that you have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to diagnose and repair the issue.

I personally think it's a bad alternator or a bad electrical connection
