I have the back-up camera, but when reversing at night, it's very hard to see where you're going in total darkness. Even without the camera, the back-up lights seem weak. Is there a thread on this? Seems like Infiniti should upgrade these lights.....

 

I upgraded my bulbs but they are still pretty dim

 

Who cares about going backwards! You should be going forwards! Haha

But yes they are pretty dim. You get used to it after a while. Come to think of it, i dont even think i noticed all that much until you said that. Damn.

 

Yep..on my '04, I notice they're pretty dim too... But you get used to it.

 

Have you tried adjusting the camera settings to see if it helps?
I don't remember playing with my settings, but I know I have no issues seeing behind me at night. It's almost daytime in my rearview monitor when it's dark out.

You can set things like Brightness and Contrast in the Rearview Settings.
When in reverse with the Rearview Monitor on, hit the Settings button.

See if that helps.

 

Oh wait.
Oh wow, I just realized that the backup light was to actually illuminate the rear!



I thought it was just to warn other cars or something. I feel so stupid.
