When we are baptized and receive the Holy Ghost does that mean we get more light because you said as soon as we are born we receive the light from the Holy Ghost?

When we are born we receive the light of Christ, which is managed (i.e. controlled, handled) by the Holy Ghost. And yes, when we are baptized we receive more light, and as we become more and more obedient we receive more and more light, and so on.

"For you shall live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God. For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ. And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit. And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father." (D&C 84:44-47)

"That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day." (D&C 50:24)
