Default Lights flickering at idle

When my car is warm and at idle the lights on the inside and the outside lights flicker. I have tested the alt and the battery and those are doing fine. I seem to hear a vac leak coming from the air intake tube but I can't find the leak and I was wondering if that might me the cause for the flickering lights. Please help..

doubt it. Check your terminals and wires? maybe bad connection somewhere or not enough ground?

You were right Lazy, it turns out that the terminals were loose on the battery. Thanks for the help.
