Ditto.
I reverse onto my dark drive and the reverse camera is fine.

I will have to try the reverse camera at night when reversing as I find the 360 camera very dark when reversing on a unlit drive.

Well backing up in my drive last night with 360 camera was useless, it was a dark damp evening, although not raining.

Agree - reversing lights seem to be only for indication to others that you're reversing rather than providing any assistance to the driver's visibility.

Used to have this problem when I had a Focus and the reversing light is low down on the lefthand side. Ok for parking against a kerb - useless for seeing where you were going.

Poor rearward vision with the reversing camera if relying on reversing light. Fine in good street lighting.

Fortunately I have a LED security light mounted above my garage door, no problems when that kicks in.

They are LED on the '60 but incandescent on the '90 where a non-standard bulb is used that isn't available from normal retailers so it has to be changed by a dealer. Oh, and the bulb is ~£15.
