Default 2002 Sentra Flickering Headlights

2002 Sentra (Canadian). Headlights flicker when switched to low or high beam.
Do not flicker in Daytime light position. Could the problem be the Daytime light control unit?

i would check the connection leading to the headlight, wires might be loose or the bulb is not seated all the way in.

I've checked the wiring and bulb seating. All appears ok. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for putting me on the right track. Closer scrutiny I observed that the flicker was occurring all the time when the engine was running. Lights were steady when the engine was off.
I put a meter on my battery a noticed it was lower in voltage than it should be. My alternator voltage was correct. I connected a spare battery...problem solved.
Thanks again for getting me off the least obvious.
