installed battery backwards

Realizing what I had done I quickly corrected the polarities. Since then I've replaced two batteries and two alternators in less than a week span. I've noticed that the head lights appeared dim when I had It running last. So I went to O'Reilly and purchased a voltage regulator So now I got a new battery and alternator plus the voltage regulator but I'm leery about installing them. Can some one tell me what could be causing these problems.
