when I turn on my headlight all my dashboard and headlights can be seen pulsing of flickering as i drive and speed up so do the lights or so it seems. Sometimes it's more noticeable than other times.

SOUNDS LIKE A REGULATOR PROBLEM (ALTERNATOR)

HAVE YOUR BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM TESTED AT A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE...THEY USUALLY WILL DO IT FOR FREE!
