So I might be blind, but the stock reverse lights just don't cut it for me. When I'm backing up to my garage at night, the camera image is pretty dark and borderline unusable.

I've been curious about the GTS style lights as well and these from Euro Klasse look to have a brighter reverse light.

Thoughts? Opinions? Am I just crazy?

Anyone have any experience with Kies vs Euro Klasse?

Have you played with the brightness settings for the rear view camera?

I have this same issue and cannot for the life of me find brightness settings for the camera in iDrive 8.

Can you just replace the bulb with something brighter?

Nope. They're LED boards inside the tail lights.

I have. The brightness settings only help the image on screen. My issue is that there is not enough light output for the camera. So even if the image on the screen is brighter, the image the camera is getting will be unaffected.

There should be a setting to modify the exposure of the lens

Same. Can’t find reverse camera adjustment settings anywhere in iD8

Not sure if this is related, but I had a similar issue with my 2018 M4 Comp when I first got it brand new. Backup video was scary as I simply could not see clearly. After a couple trips to the dealer, it turned out that the white color of the car and bright plate light was interfering with the camera. They added a strip of tint to the plate light to dim it a bit, and that fixed the issue. Hope this helps.

Where is this setting for the camera?

I agree this is an issue. There’s no setting to increase brightness of light, you just have to hope radar keeps you from bumping into something.
