Why are my LED bulbs causing interference on my reversing camera?

I have recently fitted LED globes in the rear brake lights on my MG3. I have since discovered that i get interference on my reverse camera when I apply the brakes. Any suggestions?

Chances are that the diodes in your rear brake lights need some form of suppression to stop the interference – not something that will be easy to integrate. You'd be better off reverting to standard brake light bulbs.
