Have a 2006 dodge magnum. RANDOMLY the headlights, and the interior lights flicker on and off. It happends when the lights are ON. And OFF. Cannot drive at night, because you never know when it will happen. Any suggestions?

Had the headlight switch replaced. (140 bucks) its actually HELPED. But did not fix. Before the change it would do it all the time, lights on or of. NOW since the switch was replaced it ONLY does it at night when lights are on. Took it back to the dealer. They say since they cannot see it happening. Or it doesnt do it while its in there hands, theres nothing they can do. (Jerks) but what can I do, im so stressed, so fustrated

Altenator replace, groundwire replace, relay switched replaced, nothing has completly STOPED the flickering, it is now drivable its not as bad as it was. But there is still a flicker with the headlights and all of the dash and dome lights inside. What next? Sell the car? Lol really!
