Default 2013 Jaguar XJ having flickering headlights and interior lighting

Hey guys...
I'm a newbie here. A big fan of british cars, and finally living the dream and purchased a certified XJ
It's not even been weeks and I started noticing this weird flickering headlights, interior lighting. Not sure what's going on with the car.
Any ideas?

P.S. scheduled an appointment this saturday at the dealership though (purchased vehicle in different state and got delivered in the state where i live)

Welcome to the Forum. Lots of good info and helpful members here. Hope you enjoy your XJ as much as I enjoy mine.

Possibly a ground cable not making good contact, loose fuse, or weak battery. Let the dealer figure it out - that's why you paid more to get the CPO warranty. Which Hennessey location - Buckhead, Gwinnett, or North Point?

I bought my CPO 2013 XJ in Chattanooga and it's serviced in North Point. I've been pleased working with my service advisor, Pete Alvarez. I've known him for over 6 years, when I got my XKR and he was at Nalley Jaguar (which was bought by Hennessey).

Let us know what the dealer finds.

The issue is related to the weak secondary battery that backs the beep after lock, eco mode and other interior lighting system. As my vehicle is under the CPO I was covered for all of it.
