Help: Headlights and Interior Lights flickering

Hopefully someone here can help me with this problem, its probably really simple. My headlights flicker once in awhile and it causes my interior lits to flicker. When ideling and blinker is on it does it a lot.

Im guessing this is the battery or alternator, but what do I know.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

yes mine does it too, the first time i took it to the dealer they put in a new alternator. but it still did it. so i took it to a different dealer and they gave me the "couldnt reproduce the problem" line. and i do have an amp and subs added to stock system, but even if i have my stereo off it still does it. so i just try to ignore it now.
