License plate light covers, reduce rear camera glare

[FaaWrenchBndr]

I ran into this with my Tacoma.
Rear camera glare induced by the rear license plate lighting. I bought a $10 cover that blocks half of the license plate lighting opening. It helps a great deal.
Pictures of the pieces, will get some pictures posted tonight when it gets dark.

Too damn cold for the double side tape

Heat gun solves the cold issue. Heat and alcohol wipe the surface, heat the tape, stick it, heat and press firmly for 30 seconds.

I don’t think I have close up pics, but they work great. On my build thread there are some pics, Space White Build!

Edit post 10 on my build thread

Sorry folks, been a busy weekend.

I get the set from a seller on Etsy. However, he has stopped selling. Those e-bay ones have been used my many Tacoma guys. They will fit the 14th gen well.

I got mine installed, will get some night shots later

I don’t have a before, but here is an after.
Quite a bit less than what I saw before
Hard to get a good pic, some of the weirdness is the reflection of the phone on the screen

Hey, those that wanna try this or might be interested to see the difference can simply use a piece of tape. Put it on the pumper, cover about the top half of the license plate light openings
