Default Backup camera on license plate light housing


http://www.cardvdmart.com/wholesale-car-dvd-lexus-gs300-gs400-gs430-car-rear-view-camera-reverse-camera-back-up-camera-parking-reference-line-rca-p-6056.html

Just curious, has anyone tried this product before? I've searched the threads, but nothing comes up about this one. It looks like a straight foward install and you wont have to cut up your trunk. If anyone has one, how is the camera on it? Do you get any glares from the reverse light? Is the camera bulky?

Thanks!

I would think there will be a glare also, but it was built that way and its probably been through some type of test before being released to the market. As for the quality of the camera, it does look like it could be a piece of crap lol hopefully someone that runs this can chim in.
