Default Oil Light Flickers

Was wondering what this might mean, some times my oil light will flicker while I'm at idle or in park. Usually happens when I have the brake on, but not always. Oil is not low or dirty. Tranny fluid is not old or dirty. Brake fluid, same deal.

I'm thinking it might be electrical? I have intermittent issues with headlights turning on/off usually when I'm driving at night.

Usually means low oil pressure.Headlight switch is going out..HL switch is an easy fix.

your headlights might be loose plugs on the bulbs if not the switch. turn them on then grab each plug and wiggle it a little bit. one of mine was loose a couple months ago and it would dim for a few minutes off and on.
