Definitely sounds like the starter. Especially if the headlights are nice and bright while this is going on. But if the headlights dim and flicker badly have the battery load tested. If the battery fails the load test replace it. If not, check your battery cable connections at both ends. Make sure everything is clean and tight. Hope that helps! Jim
Starter going out bub
