I had to replace the rear bumper on my 2013 Ram Sport. My old bumper started rusting around the backup sensors. I decided to purchase a Rough County off road style bumper. Their bumpers come with two four inch LED lights that can be wired in with a switch in the cab. I decided to wire them in as backup lights. They work great. Living out in the country it can get pretty dark out here at night. Here’s the problem, now my backup camera is all grainy. At first I thought it might be the bright lights because it was dark when I finished. Today when I was in town I backed out of a parking spot and I got the same grainy look. Has anyone ever ran into this? If so is there a fix?

LEDs are likely causing EMI on the camera or radio. Disconnect rear light power and see if it goes away (engine on in reverse).
