    I noticed an improvement in swapping my reverse lights with brighter LEDs. My issue is that its impossible to keep clean when it rains or snows, it'll immediately get covered in road crap and water.

    I noticed on my NX200T that the camera looks identical and has the same plug. Even across all Toyota and Lexus the cameras are similar, just different brackets and maybe plugs. I might tinker with both cars when I have free time. I'm not sure what the screen resolutions are on both cars though.

    The image quality is terrible day and night. Mine is washed out bad, looks like the pic above if you looking through multiple screen doors. The detail is shit. It's the cam that's crap. I ran my front cam and looks better. I can see plate numbers with it. The rear is a cheap cmos cam hence why grainy af. At night is useless mostly from light bleed from the stupid plate lights. Take black 3m vinyl and black out the top part of those lights. Makes it much better, but cam is still poo

    My 2020 camera have poorer resolution that my 2016 and it seems the 2020 rear camera picture appears recessed, because i can see the edges of the housing on the 2020, not on my 2016. I am going to see if Toyota will pull it forward a bit so the housing edges do not show.

    I increased the settings for brightness and contrast and that helped some. But I am mainly talking about during the day. Backup lights don't help there. BTW, I already put LEDs in the backup and tag light positions, and all interior. I highly recommend it
