First thing I'd check is your grounds. Also check the fuse. If the fuse is a cheap one made in India or China or some other place chances are it's loose. Hunt down a quality fuse.

do your lights flicker all the time or just when you start it up?

Get a new ground clamp for the battery. Took care of my flickering problem.
