Flickering head lights, what am I missing

Headlights behind a relay doesn't fix them flickering.
The flickering comes from twitchy VR operation and low power-output from the alternator.
Stock alts are known for that.

Install a newer (80s/90s) kind of alternator with built-in VR and your flickering is gone.

I have a newer style Mitsubushi alternator that uses the external mopar regulator
