head lights

voltage regulator or not enough altenator

Actually, probably not

Are they flashing on/off like a turn signal? Or just getting bright, with engine RPM, and low, at idle?

It is important to understand that the headlight switch receives UNfused power from the ammeter circuit. The headlight switch has a CIRCUIT BREAKER built into the switch

So if the lights are flashing on/ off it could be:

A bad breaker, IE bad switch

Bad contacts in the switch causing heating, causing the breaker to trip

Bad connections in the switch harness connector, causing heating

A short somewhere in the headlight circuit

Too heavy headlights, IE big wattage aftermarket lamps

etc........ etc.......

It may be possible that OVER voltage because of a problem in the charging system is causing the breaker to pop because the lights will be drawing more current.
