Running lights flickering? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have an EZ wiring kit through out my truck, the wife and I went to dinner tonight and on the way back a guy flagged me down and said my tail lights were flickering, we got home and confirmed it. Although it is only happening when the head lights are on, and not while they are off. The flickering is the running lights both front and rear and not the brake lights.
Anyone have a similar or same problem with theirs?

Fabguy, bad ground causes lights to flicker. Ground left & right head housing, left & right tail light housing, & cab to the frame.

They are all grounded with a seperate wire that I added. Maybe they aren't good enough as I screwed it into a factory hole. Will check them all again to see if that is it. Thank you

Headlight switch? Everything runs through it first.
