Hello! 

I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is even in the right forum..

I found an old thread on this but it hasn't been updated in years..

So my backup camera is crazy dark,  especially at night, even with the brightness and contrast at all the different levels. I can't see the picture at night and I can barely see it in the day time. I think it may be the backup lights but I'm not sure? 

Can anyone give me suggestions on which camera I need to get to replace the one I have now or any ideas on how to modify the backup bulbs so behind the car is actually lit up enough for the camera to register? I saw something saying that the resolution on the screen is quite low so I'm not sure if a new camera would be the right option? 

I'm just totally lost here and quite dependent on my backup camera so any help is greatly appreciated!

Fenton House said the following, "For some reason the backup lights are next to useless. Initially, I thought that the LEDs were just not bright enough, but they are. After some checking it became apparent that the lights point up rather than down. So, the backup lights light the trees - not the ground. I'll bring it to the attention of the dealer the next time I'm in. Would like to know whether anyone else is experiencing the same problem."

Yes, omg yes, I even got LED this week and it does NOTHING because they are pointing UP, absolutely Fenton House.

Does anyone know how to remove that weird plastic cover? I tried opening the file shared earlier but it won't download for me
