My headlights did that also and it was embarassing. It turned out to be the switch (the one that turns the headlights on and off-- together with the foglights-- not the switch that switches to high beams).

It's one of the easiest fixes I've ever done on a car. A new switch at Advanced Auto will cost about $15-20. All you do is pop out the old one (don't have to undo any screws at all, it just pops out the front-- carefully use a flat head screw driver) disconnect the wires, reconnect the new wires, and pop the new one in. Can be done in less than 10 minutes.

It fixed my problem and lights haven't flickered for about 6 months now.

Hope that helps. Later.
