Fluctuating Headlights

[Porkchop]

Hey Guys im cross posting this because I know how some people tend to stick in their generation forums but I need all the help I can get. Basically the lights flicker hi-low-hi-low for seconds at a time as im driving down the road and esp. when I let off the gas.

For further information on the problem please see this link http://www.shoforum.com/showthread.php?t=37278

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Maybe you've got a failing regulator?

A few years ago I used to run a '78 Chrysler Cordoba (yes, it did have "Rich, Corinthian leather... ) and when it exhibited similar problems I found the headlight switch had gone bad. The switch actually used to get pretty warm to the touch.

Not saying that's what's going on with yours, but it did happen to me.
