Typically I haven’t had this since I posted about it. Interesting to know that it’s a possible known issue though

Just had the flickering happen again, but this time I was able to capture a video, as it did it each time I re locked the car and approached it again, it only does it randomly, and even then only when approaching the car, and not when the car is started and headlights are properly on, once the car has been started it doesn’t do it again if I repeat the process, so appears to be highly sporadic!

This happened to me for the first time in the week.

As I got out of the car having just parked up on my drive I noticed it, now I'm now expert but this was in twilight so I'm speculating that the lights were a bit confused as to if they needed to be on or not, it happened as I was locking my car.
