So I know we all suffer from the Dreaded Backup Camera Glare. I did the Tape (Top and Bottom Test) and still was not happy. I use a Product called Lamin-X. It is a Headlight Taillight Tint Vinyl that is used for Tiniting Tailights etc.... I used it on my front Markers, Fogs and Tails.
Its a great product, used it for years and it hold up great to the elements.
PROCESS.
1- Order Lamin-X (As much as you want) Honestly you only need a 4" x 4" for this fix.
2- Use Blue Painters Tape to make a template around the Lens (DO NOT TAKE THE LENS OUT)
3- Take the painters tape and trace the pattern on the Lamin-x (Dont forget to reverse the pattern for the opposite side)
4- Cut out the Lamin-x, Clean the lens with Isopropyl alcohol and apply the decal.
5- Test and see. You can double up the Laminex if you want it even darker, but still Legal.
Pics Below.
Before, during and after. Camera Pic also.
Iam Former Navy and Now Coast Guard Reserve so my PARATUS License Plate means "Ready" if anyone is wondering.
BEFORE THE LAMIN-X
TEMPLATE LEFT
TEMPLATE RIGHT
LIGHT WITH NO LAMIN-X (CANT EVEN LOOK AT IT)
Light after LAMIN-X Decal (You can clearly see how subdued it is)
Now the Light does not make it up to the camera any longer
Backup Camera No Glare
