Backup Camera Issues

Does anyone else have the same problem where the backup camera image is distorted due to the glare of the license plate lights reflecting off their license plate? Seems to be happening in both “rear view” and “top view” modes. I shifted the license plate to the left as much as I could but that did not fix the issue.

It's a 2013 model so it came with LED's from the factory but that's not the problem. In the day time I can actually see part of my license plate on the backup camera. Is that the same for anybody else?

Unless you are the original owner, bought it new, if not, anyone could've changed the bulbs out with aftermarket super bright LED lights which is one of the easiest mod people can do.
OEM LCI led light aren't much bright at all

SA informed that the LCI models with the LED headlights would have also came with the LED license plate lights as well. But that's not the problem, the problem is the camera is aimed too low for some reason. I'm dropping it off next week to see what they can do about it.
