Default Radio/Clock/Ac readout while driving.. Normal?

I just noticed that my radio/clock and a/c temp readout have a slight flicker to them while driving, but once the engine is turned off, it dissapears.. Anyone else have this and is it normal? None of my other cars do it..
Have had the car two years and never noticed it until today..

Never noticed that in mine, I'll have to look more carefully.

My instrument panel lights flickered dim last week while driving at night and winding out. It only occured in 1st aroung 3500 rpm. Recovered soon but I could reproduce it. Figured something other than the dash lights demanded to juice.
It was this first time we took it out at night so it seemed wierd.

Come to think of it, my Tahoe's radio and dash lights dim from time to time.

Thanks Pepper.. My car does it with or without lights on... Strange.. It's probably been there and I've never noticed it...

I looked at mine while driving both day and night, can't see any flicker. Of course, I had to look at the road a little, too.....

If yours only does it while the engine is running, I'd wonder about a charging system starting to go bad.
