Could be a few things like a bad ground somewhere, maybe a faulty fuse, alternator thats going, or a wiring issue. Id check Alternator first, then look for any bad grounds.

Well I thought if it was a bad alternator it would stop flickering when reved high,and mine doesnt stop it flickers at all times when the car is running.I could be wrong.

Check the fuse and grounds.

I'm betting $3 it's a fuse that's not connecting properly.

Replace the existing headlight fuse with a new/working fuse of similar amperage. I bet it solves your problem.

Oh, it's all your lights. Then it could be grounds or alternator.

I just try to help, i'm not the most knowledgeable, but I try to post useful information. And I'm on all hours of the day just about, because of my weird work schedule, so I'm always around when others arent.

Hope I helped

Usually if its tranny fluid is leaking where it comes together with the engine its the transmission front seal.

ok im going to give u a list of things to check ...the main switch. The Dimmer switch, check the valve cover ground-should be black or brown, the battery ground, the black yellow gorund on transmission also check them for corrosion. But to me it sounds like the main switch.

Not only the relay but the actual switch on the turn signal, do the wiggle test to see if it clears up. check for excessive play in the switch.
