Could this be rear camera interference? | Lasfit Customer Shares

[LASFIT]

When reversing, a bright LED reverse light is crucial to avoid hitting pedestrians or other vehicles. Lasfit offers different bulb size of white LEDs tailored for different vehicle models, and we’re thrilled to help drivers enhance their safety on the road.

Recently, one of our customers reached out, reporting an issue with his rear camera after installing our LED bulbs. The camera showed streaks of light, which led to some concerns:

Common causes of rear camera interference usually include Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Voltage Fluctuations. This can manifest as flickering or shaky images, darkened or blurred screens, or even a complete blackout. However, the issue this customer experienced is slightly different from typical interference.

Lasfit advised the customer to inspect the LED bulbs externally. If the bulbs are working fine but the rear camera continues to display this behavior, it’s likely due to the aftermarket LED bulb causing interference. Our customer service team is always here to help, offering a hassle-free 1-year warranty for our users.

Have you installed aftermarket LED reverse lights before? Did you encounter a similar issue?

Almost looks like the camera is picking up artifacts from the LED light pulse. Could be EMI or power fluctuations.

It could also be partly caused by the glare off those license plate lights, I would try putting a sort of shield or hood over the license plate lights to keep their glare from extending up to the camera lens and see if that cleans up the image.

I’m guessing there’s probably no adjustments for the camera but changing the frame rate or Hz may clean up the image too.

I upgraded the license plate lights on my F-150... and now they sort of shine at my backup camera.

I wonder if it can be a reflector issue as well since the reflectors are typically designed for incandescent lights. So the focus isn't correct. It tends to be more of an issue with headlights than back up and marker lights but I could see it possibly being an issue.

Though the light pulse thing, either from the visible light spectrum and/or EMF could be as well. Look at any video taken where there is LED lights invoved and how they pulse and what not because of the frame rate of the video.

When I go to install auxiliary backup lights on the 2019, this is something I'm going to have to consider for sure and may have to install halogen or incandescent lights instead as a result.

Kind of borders on a bad design for me, they have the lights angled up.

I do notice a bit of glare in the camera from the licence plate lights on the 2019. Your lights look similar. Though, I think the camera placement is different. If I recall correctly, the F150 has the camera in the tailgate handle. The 2019+ Ranger has it under the Ford logo.

Yup.
