    Installed on Saturday. No night time pics yet but it is very bright and looks awesome. I messed up drilling out one of the bolts and so it's a tiny bit uneven, but I will do some adjusting later.

    They're coming today! We'll have em ready to go out the door probably by end of the week.


    I can't say if we will do them in the future, but it certainly won't happen within the next year or so.

    @destin_meeks

    You were the one that suggested the pcam-220 for the camera equipped third brake light. I also found the pcam-fmbr180-n that happens to be the same dimensions as the pcam-220 and was wondering if you wouldnt mind explaining the differences between the two and which you would recommend for a rear view mirror replacement. And possibly what some of the camera specific jargon means.

    They are fairly close spec wise, with the edge to your pick. However, that model only does mirror image (reverse), not normal mode. Also, beware that there is apparently a PAL (euro spec) version of that model as well.

    what's the difference between the ones the US uses and PAL?

    I think the mirror image is what I need in this instance so no normal mode is ok with me.

    EDIT: I've done a ton of googling on this stuff and still dont quite understand all the alphabet soup (acronyms) and stuff and how it translates to what you see on screen. I need a video cameras for dummies version Haha sorry in advance if this clogs up the thread @mesojdm

    "NTSC stands for National Television Standards Committee. PAL stands for Phase Alternating Line. NTSC is the standard broadcast format in the United States, while PAL is the standard broadcast format in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia." Essentially different output format (hardware).

    I took a few night pics last night. It turns out it is somewhat difficult to get a clear shot with how bright they are. That or I had a few too many beers before taking the pics...

    Got my BD4-NMO all buttoned up. Install was a breeze.

    Black anodized hardware for style points.
