all my lights (head, interior, and sterreo) flicker. Brighter and dimmer.
Any ideas why?  New battery, and a new alternator were installed.  I have a
98 camaro V6

Either a bad ground or a flakey regulator in your new alternator. Was that
"new" as in brand new, or rebuilt? - Gary

it was from shucks,  my guess is remanufactured.  It was put in a year ago
and havn't had this problem till now.  I've notice that the makes a like a
womp womp noise (suttle) with the lights.

 How do they flicker? When you rev/let up on the engine? Or, when
you hit bumps?

 OK.

 Is it possible that the new alternator might be bad? How about
corrosion of some sort on the charging lead's connectors? (Had that
happen once) Any frayed wires near the firewall or other ground
sources? (Had that happen once too)

                                       NOI
