headlight flicker

Headlights have a bit of "flicker" when stopped at idle.
Any suggestions? 86 951.

How much of a "flicker"? One that catches your eye, or one that you have to look for to see? It could just be the engine is changing RPM slightly, causing the alternator to charge more/less.

Probably a bad ground, Or your alternator is having issues.
