I'm doing the grounds soon...there was a great write up on here but I can't find it. There's also one in the how-tis called "the big 3" or something to that effect. Hopefully redoing my grounds helps my situation.

I ran a new ground from my battery to the body and one to the motor and then a ground from the motor to the body. This fixed all of my issues so far. I spent probably $25 from autozone for the ground wires.

I've read elsewhere that the actual headlight dimmer switch itself can be the cause of a lot of flickering issues. On my car I have to turn my dimmer dial back like 1/16" to get max brightness without flickering. If I turn it the entire way to full brightness my gauges flicker like crazy.

its really just a common thing with svt's...
the doing the big 3 helps alot.. (battery ground, engine block ground, and power cable to the alternator) but it won't necessarily fix it all.. mine has done it for 4 years... so i turned the dial back a tad, like others have said, and it works.. it doesnt even really dim it much at all. that is how little i have it turned back.. and no flickers for 6 months so far.
