2024 F150 blurry back-up camera

[brokenarrow]

I just bought a ‘24 XLT. Tonight I noticed the back up camera is very blurry. I cleaned it and no change.
Is this common?

Is the camera only blurry when using it at night? If so I think that's a pretty common issue. I have a 24 and the backup camera is definitely blurry at night, still usable but not clear like it is during the day.

Yes mine is burry at night. My wife's BMW is very similar at night as well

Yea, they're almost as good of quality as the cameras used to film bigfoot....

Brother that is funny and spot on!
Camera clarity is better in daylight but nighttime not so great. Lots of glare.
The camera on the RAM I had previously is HD compared to this one.
Loving this truck so far but Ford could do better in a few areas.

My son printed me a couple license plate light glare shields. Hard to tell in the pictures but they cut the glare all but out. Pictures below of it half done.

Ok, wow. That really reduced the glare quite a bit. Great idea.

Tacomas are extremes for this. Out of set on these on my 3rd Gen about 18 months ago. Makes a huge difference. LED plate lights create a huge glare issue as well……avoid those

Maybe a logic module
To turn off license plate lights, if headlights are on and truck is in reverse.

Seems it shoukd be easy...
Makes me wonder if it's hidden in forscan somewhere

Might need to be lit per law.

Might need to be lit per law.

it would be if lights were on, or at least parking lights
just shut off in reverse only
i could see an issue if we pulled a hooper and drove backwards at 65 on the highway

i built a simple module years ago to go on my f350
it turned on the BRIGHT under bumper lights, only if at least parking lights were on and received a signal trucks reverse lights were on
it took 2 yes answers in the module to send power the lights

i was thinking a similar set up, or a blank off plate that only shined light at the plate
last option would be the trailer MODE
you know the trailers we see every day with NO LIGHTS at all ?
