My cam sucks at night, but it makes "good" daytime pictures.

I took one picture to show you, in real it's much more beautiful, very uniform and white (like 5000k).

I have a bad phone camera, but mine doesn't look as good as Midas' in photo. It's not as uniform.

I tried taping some foils to cover up the top led, and it looks much more uniform, but it's dimmer, and I'm afraid it might overheat my led, so I didn't do it.

Different countries have different measurements of speed. In the US, the 140 is on the outside ring in mph and the inside is 220 kph. In other countries like Canada or Europe, it's reversed.
