I have been feeling a bit light headed after squatting the past few workouts.
I think it might be my breathing causing this? What is the correct techniqe?
Should i exhale slowly on the negative side of the rep or vice versa?

You got that in the wrong order.
Most inhale before they go down. And they hold the air until well on the way up. If you exhale on the way down, you won't be able to come up, because you have lost your air, and your tightness along with it.
For high rep squats, many just inhale on the way down, then exhale on the way up.

No.
Big deep breath at top, hold this all the way down into the hole.
As you rise, you can let a little breath out, or just hold completely until you get back to the starting position.
It's important to have a chest full of air on way down and back up, as it acts as a brace inside your torso, gives you extra stability, and protects your spine.Jan 2010 - 132lbs

Alright.. Got it.
It's weird I never noticed how I breathe during squats or any other exercise.
I always feel a little dizzy during heavy training. But, thought that was normal. Today I searched about it and realized that breathing is also very important in training.
Thanks for the clarification guys. Much appreciated.
Cheers
