Below the battery you will see a harness connector. It is round. It is most likely a bad connection where one of those wires goes into the connector. try moving around the wires going into the connector on both sides of it with the headlights on and watching to see if the lights flicker. only move one wire at a time until you isolate that wire. The best thing you can do at this point is to see which wire is the same one on the opposing side of the connector and bypass the connector for those wires. In other words, cut off the bad wire and the wire that connects to the same pins on both sides of the connector. then just solder or crimp on a jumper wire going to both cut wires and you should have it fixed!
