I tried searching for this so forgive me and if it’s out here already but I had no luck:

At night, the back up camera is washed out by lights shining directly into the lens. I’ve seen a reference to putting film over the lights to help with the issue but haven’t seen just exactly what film was used or how it was implemented.

Has anybody addressed this issue effectively and if so could you explain just exactly what you used and how you did it?

get a Tazer Mini and it'll deactivate it when in reverse automatically.

I tried the gray lamin-x and it didn't help, much. I did buy the Tazer Mini and now the tag light turns off when I put the Jeep in reverse. I also, used the Tazer Mini to turn on the back up cam when I use the turn signal, which also turns the tag light off.

There is also a relay harness on ebay that de activates the plate lights when put into reverse. Works wonderful on my truck, plug and play also.

Looks like the seller doesn't have it listed anymore.

Seller was: carpemaur1.

Maybe be worth contacting the seller through ebay.
