Default Headlights Flickered tonight and then went off for 4-7 sec's and came back on?

What do you think this could be? I think my Belts may need tightened but i was wondering if anyone else might now thanks guys.

----------

The altenaitor was replaced about 3 years ago so i don't think its that and the headlights are only 6months old.
