1G LED reverse lights making backup camera fuzzy

[AWD-Tony]

I recently installed a backup camera that came with my head unit. The camera is activated by the reverse light so it's wired to 12v & ground wires to reverse bulbs. Worked fine until I switched to LED reverse bulbs. It comes on fuzzy like an old black and white tv. Electrical wizards, If I install a 4 pin relay and switch the power (same as fuel pump rewire 12v) and ground, will this fix the fuzziness?

Some brands of LED cause interference at frequencies that interfere with other electronics. Internet search claim it is likely brand specific. Available fixes for sale besides trial & error different LED's are ferrite chokes but I haven't tried this yet. On my 2G I changed my 3rd brake light to an LED because the bulbs are hard to find & was burning out often. Whenever I step on the brakes my radio goes to static. Really annoying especially at stop lights.

Yeah that’ll get annoying. I forgot to mention that it’s fine with the engine off. Wth!!! I should check the socket because I remember the led fit real loose on the other side.

Think I have a ferrite choke somewhere. Never new that’s what it’s called....funny name whoever named it. Haha. Thanks Mello!!

Relay isolation and ensuring good grounds are the best ideas for clearing it up.

Many LED lights cause annoying noise and disturb radio and camera. It's almost impossible to eliminate all noise but you can reduce the noise with using a capacitor. Just connect it to the light bulb positive and ground. People are using like the one in the link below for LED head light noise.

Thanks for the input fellas! I will try and figure this out since she’ll be down for a couple of weeks

I would try to hook a relay and just use the reverse as the relay trigger..that's pretty simple to try atleast. Thank you for your time, Jason Penny

Resolved.

Installed this capacitor and it’s good now.

Awesome glad you figured it out

Glad to hear that a capacitor worked for you.
