My Dash / headlights flickering at stop! Possible causes?

[JSJW]

Hi guys

This morning while I was driving to work, I've noticed my speedometer and headlights were beginning to flicker when the car was at a stop.
The car seems to run ok and there were no signs of engine surge or anything like that. Any possible causes?
cheers.

Try earth strap on the battery or dirty terminals

Test the voltage on the battery and alternator to check their health.

Are you running fully hectic subs by any chance?
Otherwise check the voltage from alternator at idle, should be around 14V.
