Thats a good start.

If you want your headlights to work better, take a look at this thread.

wow not sure what is wrong with this site but it totally just didnt submit my post and erased it

anyways i installed the new voltage regulator which was heavier and much more sturdy than the old.

This fixed my brightness fluctuations and now the headlights are at 1 constant level Havnt tested on the road yet to see if maybe what I thought was flickering was just brightness changes.

The grounds to part of the headlight harness and to the alternator wires that go into the voltage regulator are attached to a bolt on the voltage regulator.

Is this the correct place for these grounds?

it goes chasis, regulator, grounds, bolt.

Thats cool. Hopefully its fixed now.

Did you look at that link I posted?

That sounds like the correct place for that ground. Mine has always been like that.
