Well today I change my alternator put in new valeo alternator but I'm still getting the flicking/pulsing lights on the dash when the car is in reverse or drive. My battery is about 5 years old I'm thinking to replace it.

What else can cause this issue? Started getting P0442 code without a check engine light.

Did it come with a new voltage regulator? If not then you should also replace that.
