Strange question here, folks. I just bought a 2016 Buick LaCrosse, the 3.6L version, and it has more whistles than you can count. Including a *bright* backup camera. The street where I park nowadays is pretty dark when I get there in the morning, and it'll be dark until next spring. When I put the car in R, the backup camera comes on, of course, and that's helpful. But it's so bright that, with the tinted front passenger window, I really can't see anything in the outside mirror. There are no settings to reduce the brightness of the camera screen -- the camera probably overrides a setting to turn the display off, and even if that worked, I wouldn't want to fool with that every time I park.
So: Is there any way I could have little LEDs installed under the car near the lower edges of the rear fenders, behind the tires, that would come on when I go into R? They would cast a little light on the ground and let me see where the stern of the car is. The BMW X3s I had recently as a loaner had lights that threw light on the ground when you unlocked the car. And I know you can buy expensive ground lighting systems that throw light under your car as you drive, making it look like a video game on wheels. I would just want a light that I could see in the mirrors that would come on only if I'm in R. Any ideas? Would one of the big tint shops be a good place to ask?
