Headlight flickers
Hey guys! I have a '97 TL and my headlights flicker even when I'm on the freeway running a steady speed. It dims and brightens up again. Does anyone have any idea as to what I should check? Any help will be highly appreciated.

If you have a stereo system and your bass hits hard. Uhh... not sure what else. Someone is sucking your battery.

No, don't have a system. Just an aftermarket Panasonic stereo and the rest is stock. Anyone else have any ideas? I'm stumped.

check your grounds, and check the wires going into the ballast, if it's not wiring, then it's the ballast
