This happens to mine whenever the Webasto heater fires up. It only lasts for a short time and I have never worried about it.

Don't know if it could be your problem - do you have a Webasto? - was it cold enough for it to operate when you noticed it?

Default Flickering lights

When the alternator was failing on my ZS, it made the lighting flicker, it was more like a "pulsing" is that what you are experiencing?
