I recently noticed that when I cut my normal beams on from time to time the high will flicker on and off. I tried to cut the highs off with the switch but they only cut off when they want to. The only way they don't flicker is off i don't have the headlights on at all. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
 
Get your alternator checked. When mine went out, the first sign was flickering headlights and dash lights.
 
If not the alternator then it might be the switch/relay that turns them on/off. That could be shorting out.
 
Two very good suggestions just posted, look into em' bud. And if those aren't your solution, then you should check to make sure you don't have high condensation anywhere around fuses, ecu, relays, etc. Artist.
 
Thanks guys.
I found the prob. Wires from the headlights were rubbing my stock intercooler. They rubbed through the wire and started to ground it out. I will move the wires and rewrap them. Thanks for all the help.
