Check charging back the battery while at an idle or slightly above. Should be around 14 volts. If lower,could be sucking the battery down and causing voltage to fluctuate on the lights. Can be a faulty regulator causing this,a sulfated battery unable to hold a charge especially if the regulator shows to be charging or can even happen if too many accessories are hooked up at the same time that the system can't keep up with the electrical demand.
