lights that dim - need a capacitor, current draw exceeding alternator output or power taken from fuse block and not direct from battery. (Amps should have their own power cable of 4ga wire direct from battery with an in-line fuse no more than 18" from battery)
lights that flicker - poor bridge rectification on the part of the diodes in the alternator. Basically a bumpy DC signal. A capacitor would cure this problem as well.
