    They all flicker but it should not be visible to the human eye.
    Cameras often pick it up.
    It sounds like an unstable power supply but I can't help more than that.
    Someone who knows what they're talking about will be along shortly.

    Kindest Regards
    Carl.

    Is it a JLR product with a rear view mirror fed by a camera?
