Ideas to address truck tail light reflection from camper?

I have a question for my fellow TC owners.

When it's dark outside, and with my AF 811 loaded, it's almost impossible to see where I'm backing via the truck's mirrors due to the reflection of my truck's tail lights/reverse lights off of the camper.

Aside from installing a back-up camera on the rear of the camper, or removing the bulbs from the rear of the truck every time I load the camper (what a PIA that would be!), has anyone else come up with a decent means of addressing this?

Paint the inside of the overhang Black. Works great!

All the lights in the rear have to have a ground. You could add a relay that the lights ground through. I'd wire it up so that when I applied power to the new relay (using a switch on the dash) it interrupted the ground path for the taillights. It would require a 5 terminal relay and some wire and time. You could kill as many lights as you wanted to by removing their ground path.

You could put blue painters tape over the tail light lenses before loading the camper.
