CAMERA MIRROR SYSTEM WITH DARK DOCKING IR LED

A method of illuminating a commercial vehicle in low-light conditions includes providing a camera monitor system that includes a scattered IR LED with a first beam angle and a focused IR LED with a second beam angle smaller than the first beam angle. The method includes operating the scattered IR LED in a first condition to provide a diffused IR light alongside the commercial vehicle, and operating the focused IR LED in a second condition that is different than the first condition to provide a focused IR light to an end of the commercial vehicle.
