So what did you do to your GMC today?
- Thread starter RvRev2
- Start date
Working with another owner to design a combination clearance light (OEM style) and camera for use in either the front or rear cluster. The goal is to have a camera that doesn't require more holes for mounting/cable, is able to look almost straight down if needed (adjustable), and still functions as a clearance light (perhaps not optimally, but it would at least glow with the correct color at night).
The purpose is to provide front and rear video for my 360 bird's eye camera system without putting more holes in the body. If successful, it might be of interest to other owners at least as a reverse camera.
My solution is based around an AHD 1080p camera, but others are probably available that could fit.
Yes, there are "clearance light cameras" out there, but they all require more holes and don't match the existing lights.

See what folks meant about fillup inconsistencies, mileage ranged from 6.3 to 13.4 will have to average the whole trip to get any idea what its doing...
Climb even thru foothills from colorado sprins, umm yeah, not gonna try hardscrabble grade... altitude/weight/itty bitty qjet primaries pulling 6 tons in thin air, you definitely feel it... will take the river road up later, its gonna be slow going i know, but God willing will get the old gal up on uncles overlook today...last couple miles are gonna be hard, hoping aired up she'll clear to get it up there...property is about 10,500 feet and theres a lot of short climbs to the driveway...
