Facelift E350 Wagon Reverse Lights - Terrible?
I’ve got a ‘14 E350 wagon, and it’s great in most ways, but the backup lights are *horrible*— I can’t see anything on the screen when reversing at night.
Is this normal? The lights are turning on (I checked, as I wasn’t sure...)

You can't change reverse lights on a facelift car - they're all LED built in.
The problem is not that the lights aren't bright. They are plenty bright. The problem is they project too far, leaving a huge dark gap right behind the car. You could install aux reverse lights somewhere, but I can't see how that would be aesthetically pleasing. Best to just learn to live with it.
