Retrofit to a high-resolution camera and control module. Nothing else you can do to make yours better

Not sure if you have the same problem I do, but the factory camera does not like aftermarket LED plate lights, they are far too bright for it's optics to handle. I'm not willing to give them up, but the camera does not like them one bit.

(if you can reverse while turning off the headlights/running lights, that helps too)
