Brian I had heard at one point that this was a headlight relay thing, 
but wouldn't the dimming dash lights nix that?  I have that happen as 
well, on a 1 year old headlight relay.  The ideai recall was that the 
vibration at certain RPMs did something wacky in the relay (I hope 
this isn't too technical)  :-)
