Check the headlight switch connector. When I was doing some wiring on the column I noticed that wiggling the connector would make the headlights flicker. It turned out that the ground pin on the connector was a bit sloppy, so I popped the pin and bent it a bit to make it tight.

At the base of the headlight stalk. You have to remove the lower steering column cover to get at it.
