If we are discussing "flicker" and not "blinking", then the device that fills the gaps in current and voltage is a capacitor. First, however, there needs to be proof and testing of circuit integrity of wiring and bulbs being tight. And if that is all OK, and the charging circuit is OK and just fluctuating, then a 1000 MFD capacitor 25 volt, placed in parallel with the headlight LED's should solve the flickering. Amazon has 1000 MFD 25 volt capacitors in bulk for under $5.00 with free shipping if you are Prime person. They would need to soldered in somehow in parallel with each LED that is flickering. 5 bucks is probably not too much to waste.
