    anyone have an idea on this? my 78 pickup interior lights have started flickering the last couple of nights this consists of my guage lights, my light above the stereo and my light on my cb and tach. It attempted to shut off last night but it fired back up and it only does this with the lights on. I do not have a problem during the day i do not know what it is. I need some help here
