lights flickers..int & ext HELP

hey peeps,

i just bought an fc T2 a few months ago... lights would flickers abit!
one night it was raining hard and fogging up my windows, so here are the accessories that was one...

-headlights
-defroster/defogger
-cd player alone.. without any sub
-and my fan on hot temp..speed of atleast 3/4

and finally my alternator gave out...

at first i thought that the flickering of the lights would be the caused of an old
or weak alternator..but when i got it rebuilt and installed... it would still flickers


i got a stock FC with ground kit upgrade...

I would say it's some bad wiring, but Wayne or Icemark will be able to tell you with better accuracy.

*sigh*. I'm wasting my breath...

Check your gang ground near/under the trailing coil (the OEM one)...That's for the headlights, among others...

Check the big cable from the top of the alternator, through the harness, to the termination near or at the engine bay fuse box.

Does the voltage gauge flicker also? Do you even have a voltage gauge? You should
