flickering headlights
Has anyone noticed that the headlights seem to flicker on their NBS Silverados? I have a '07 NBS Crew and have noticed a brief flicker or dimming of the headlights while driving at night.
It only occurs for a fraction of a second.
I haven't been able to determine a pattern, like when the brakes are applied or anything else electrical comes on (because it doesn't happen all the time), but I think that it is when it generally happens. I havent' noticed that the dash lights do this.
Haven't notice any changes in the gauges.
Am I just seeing things?

RE: flickering headlights
I know what you mean, I have the same problem. Its only the headlights, and it seems like its only when the truck is idling down, like coming to a stop or at idle. They will dim for a brief moment then get bright again. I dont know what causes it. The voltage seems fine, IDK.

RE: flickering headlights
I know this is a bit late if you haven't gotten an answer yet...
A friend of mine who is ASE certified said that is related to the alternator. Someone else had the same issue you mentioned and that's what he mentioned to me. I vaguely remember that same issue I had when I owned a FZR 600 and after replacing the alternator it went away, but that is when I used to work on bikes many years ago and completely forgotten about that...
