[Mgs] Flickering MGB lights

It is unlikely to be a ground as the headlights, rear lights, instrument
lights and interior light all ground in different places.  It's either an
intermittent short dragging the voltage down in which case just hope and pray
it doesn't become a full-time short, especially when parked) or an
intermittent open-circuit.  As you say both head and interior lights are
affected that implies it is the main feed to both, but that would also affect
the engine and tach.  If both *are* affected, then it could just be
intermittent output from your alternator, making then flicker between 14.5v
from the alternator and 12v from the battery, rather than them flicking
completely off.

  Got in from an evening club meet and noticed on the way home all my
  lights, interior and headlights, started to flicker.
