Maybe a loose power or ground wire. Do they flicker when you're stopped (no vibration)?

They probably don't flicker when the engine is off.......Alternator off, lights on battery. You may still have a bad alternator. There should be a way to test this. It may take more test equipment that you have access to. Check with a parts house to see if they can test your alternator for you.
