In the old days I'd say somethings wrong with the alternator-something in the ac-dc converter part that is not smoothing out the output voltage-try another alternator- Denny

Why does my headlight on my Harley Road King 2003 keep flashing or flickering

Sometimes, a headlight may start flickering due to physical damage to headlight components. The inside of the connector may start to melt, causing a poor connection. the bulbs or lamps of your headlights are old or damaged, it can cause the headlights to flicker. Fortunately, this can be a relatively quick fix.

When the alternator starts to give out, your car’s electrical output is affected. This could result in flickering, dimming, or inoperative headlights, as the headlights depend on power from the vehicle's battery. When the alternator is unable to charge the battery, the vehicle's electrical system will quickly drain the battery. One of the most common causes of headlight flickering is a dying battery. Your headlights rely on power from the battery to function properly. If the battery is failing, flickering, or dimming headlights may be the result. In this situation.

Slight flicker with headlights. Replaced battery which was needed. Headlights still flicker. Had changed out original lamps with brighter lamps. Could this be the problem?

Bad plugs on the bulbs.Bad grounded lights wiring.Bad alternator ground.Bad alternator charge.Bad lights switch.Also ,the new lamps may show more sensibility in voltange change or put more pressure on a older bad wiring link.

Flicking headlights

Check the wiring from alternator to battery (check every single joint or clip for tightening) or better let it check by an electrician.

Flickering Headlights and Dim interior lights

Definately an electrical problem....first off, check the battery and alternator connections to make sure they are tight. The problem has to be before the fuse box because the headlights and interior lights are on different fuses. It sounds to me like a loose wire, corroded battery terminals, or an alternator that is going bad. An alternator is a relatively easy and cheap fix. They cost about $100 and require removing a few wires, 3 bolts, and the serpentine belt.
