Flickering lights
I have noticed lately that when I have my headlights on, sometimes the dash and radio lights will flicker, and it seems to be getting worse lately.
Also, a few nights ago I was at home with the headlights on, and noticed that when the dash lights flickered, so did the headlights.
Could this be caused by a headlight switch that's going bad? I don't really know why it does it. They'll flicker when I'm sitting still, and bumps don't seem to affect it.

Nah...it seemingly has nothing to do with anything, just random.
I hate intermittent electrical problems too. Well anyway maybe I'll try replacing the headlight switch and see if that helps.

I bought a kit from LMC a week ago and have yet to get it, which is weird because I usually get things from them in a day or 2...

Relay system? Nope, I've heard about doing it on other vehicles but not on my truck. Have a link to a writeup?

The harness is ridiculously easy to install. I got it around 3:00 today. There are 2 plugs that go in the bulbs, 2 grounds, 1 plug to go in one of the old head light plugs (the other is left to do nothing, it just hangs there), 2 plugs that go into supplied relays, and 2 connectors that hook up directly to the (+) batt term. and everything is labled.
I have pics I'll put up later if you cant understand what I'm trying to say.
