Back up Lights Brightness
Hi,
The backup lights on my M340 are not very bright and have a hard time seeing behind me -- with or without the camera On my F30, I solved the problem by switching out for LEDs Anyone try anything or is this one of those things you have to adjust? Thanks

My backup lights are decently bright enough. In the dark, I can see that the back up lights are on through the camera. In my Audis, I can’t. It’s that bright in the G20. I guess I’m just used to it?
And our cars already have LEDs. So I assume you’ll need brighter LEDs?

Same here. Raised brightness level on screen but still seems very dark especially with no other lights in the area. Very dim considering they are LED. Anyone know the size of bulb used?

All I know is that they are LEDs -- haven't had the nerve to take trunk liner off yet and check

I’ve considered to mount additional white led fixtures under the rear bumper. Should work but it’s a car and not a tractor. |

Sadly our reverse lights are more useful as indicators to other drivers, they don't really illuminate anything. Sadly I've not found any way to improve them 😕
