Do they flicker on and off, or up and down. If they flicker on and off check your connections something is probably not hooked up completely. of they flicker up and down, then the headlamp housing is loose and needs to be tightened.

yeah make sure everything is on really tight. is it just one headlight or both of them? It could be that your bulb is about to blow.

Edit: Also, check the actual metal part of the bulb that goes into the plug to make sure its not totally covered in grease. I dunno if this would be causing your problem, but I know that the last time i changed my bulbs, there was so much freakin grease all over the plug that my hands were black when they came back out.
